Alabama basketball star and NBA prospect Brandon Miller has been linked to a murder case against teammate Darius Miles after providing a handgun used to kill a woman in Tuscaloosa last month, according to police.

On Tuesday, Tuscaloosa detective Branden Culpepper testified that Miles texted Miller on January 15, asking his then-teammate to bring his gun to an off-campus area, where 23-year-old Jamea Jonae Harris was later shot and killed. Miller allegedly complied, driving the gun to Miles and another man, Michael Lynn Davis, who are both facing capital murder charges for Harris' death.

When Miller arrived at the scene, he contacted Miles in a text message, writing that 'the heat is in the hat,' and adding that 'there's one in the head,' according to Culpepper. As the Detective explained, Miller was allegedly indicating that there was a gun in a hat inside his car with a round in its chamber.

While Miles has been dismissed from the Crimson Tide basketball team ahead of his murder trial, Miller has not been charged by authorities.

The school's athletic department was already aware of the allegations against Miller.

'We knew about that,' Crimson Tide basketball coach Nate Oats told reporters Tuesday. 'Can't control everything anybody does outside of practice. Nobody knew that was going to happen. ... Brandon hasn't been in any type of trouble, nor is he in any type of trouble in this case. Wrong spot at the wrong time.'

Oats insisted Tuesday that the program has been 'fully cooperating with law enforcement the entire time.'

He also said the 'whole situation is sad.'
