Tuscaloosa Police Captain Jack Kennedy said the shooting took place early Sunday morning near the university campus.
On Sunday Miles and another man, Michael Lynn Davis, 20, were charged with capital murder after 23-year-old Jamea Harris was killed, according to an AP report.
Davis was confirmed to have no affiliation with Alabama University.
The brief footage is said to come from a Ring camera situated close to the university campus. In the footage, that has gone viral on social media, multiple gunshots can be heard. Seconds after the shooting starts two women can be seen running for their lives and then screaming can be heard.
Kennedy held a news conference on Sunday and gave further details about the incident.
“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.”
Kennedy also said that the Miles and the victim Harris did not have a previous relationship.
He added that a driver of a vehicle, in which Harris was a passenger, approached campus police at around 1:45 a.m.
The driver said that someone had shot into the vehicle and he had fired back. Kennedy did not disclose who fired the gun or who was hurt.
Kennedy also said that police were able to make the arrests and charge the two individuals after speaking to multiple witnesses and viewing video surveillance.
The Alabama University athletic department website has since removed Miles’ bio from its website and said he is no longer on the team.
A university statement said: “The University of Alabama’s utmost priority is the safety and well-being of the campus community. We are grieved by the incident that occurred near campus last night and extend our deepest condolences to thevictim’s family and friends.”
A video of Miles being arrested has also begun circulating on YouTube.
The clip, which has been viewed more than 120,000 times, shows Miles being escorted by authorities into a vehicle.
He can be heard saying to someone out of view that he “loves them more than they can imagine.”
Miles was a reserve on the Crimson Tide team and the university had announced before its latest game on Saturday, against LSU, that he was out for the season with an ankle injury.
Newsweek has contacted the viral clip uploader, the Tuscaloosa Police Department and Ring for comment.
