Alabama Crimson Tide basketball player Darius Miles was arrested on Sunday and charged with capital murder.

The fatal shooting of a woman happened at around 1:45 AM near Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

"At this time, it appears that the only motive was a minor altercation that these individuals had with the victim as they were out on The Strip," Tuscaloosa Police Captain Jack Kennedy said in a news conference yesterday.

A video has since surfaced that documents the moment Miles shot the victim. Two girls were seen walking away on a street when gunshots could suddenly be heard. Seconds later, a girl screaming could be heard.

Miles has been dismissed from the team.

"We were made aware of the recent charge against student-athlete Darius Miles, and he is no longer a member of the Alabama men’s basketball team. Athletics, in conjunction with the University, is fully cooperating with this investigation," the school said in a statement.
