Mother Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against NBA Rookie Brandon Miller and Two Others
NBA Rookie Brandon Miller, not charged in the crime, is hit with a lawsuit along with two others for their alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of Jamea Jonae Harris; her family seeks a jury trial to determine culpability.
- Decarla Raietta Heard, mother of the fatally shot Jamea Jonae Harris, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against NBA rookie Brandon Miller, ex-Crimson Tide player Darius Miles, and another man, Michael Davis.
- Heard's lawsuit alleges that the three men should have known that bringing a weapon to a dispute and discharging it would lead to harm, requesting a jury trial.
- Miles and Davis face capital murder charges, while Miller, who was present at the crime scene and the gun used in the shooting came from his car, is not criminally charged.
- The attorney of Miller mentioned that the NBA rookie had no knowledge of any intended illegal usage of the weapon, and he had neither touched the gun nor gotten involved in its exchange.
- Harris' mother DeCarla Heard, through her attorneys, seeks to investigate how and why the weapon was introduced to the scene of the deadly confrontation, expressing a desire to hear testimonies from all three involved men.
