Alabama men’s basketball player Kai Spears publicly refuted a recent report from The New York Times that said he was present at the scene of the deadly shooting of 23-year-old Jamea Jonae Harris in January.
The Wednesday report from the Times said that Spears, a freshman walk-on, was at the scene of the shooting along with Brandon Miller, Jaden Bradley and Darius Miles, who had all previously been identified. The report stated that, according to an anonymous Times source, Spears was in Miller’s car when two bullets struck the windshield of the vehicle, but that neither player was injured.
