A pair of Alabama basketball fans were spotted wearing T-shirts that read “Killin’ our way through the SEC in ’23” during the SEC tournament semifinals on Saturday.
Former Alabama linebacker Darius Miles was indicted Friday in the Jan. 14 shooting death of Jamea Harris.
Miles admitted to police that his friend Michael Lynn Davis gave him the gun he allegedly used to shoot Harris after a brief verbal altercation between Davis and Cedric Johnson’s boyfriend outside a bar.
Miles texted Alabama star and projected top NBA Draft pick Brandon Miller asking Miller to bring his gun.
Miller was picking up Miles, and Miller’s attorney said Miller did not know Miles’ gun was in the vehicle.
Miller has continued to play since the shooting.
Alabama took first place in March Madness.

Fans were warned they faced elimination by wearing the shirts on Sunday, according to the Washington Post.

The Alabama basketball team seemed to be laughing at the accident with the infamous pat-down incident before a game late last month, when Miller was groped by a teammate.
Recently, Alabama guard Jahvon Quinnerly — a New Jersey native who transferred from Villanova after the 2019-20 season — was asked by a reporter if he had a gun.
Quinnerly responded with a simple “no.”
