A student manager of Alabama’s men’s basketball team said Friday that he had been a passenger in the car of a star player, Brandon Miller, during a January shooting in Tuscaloosa.
One person was killed and Mr. Miller’s car was hit by stray bullets in the episode, which involved multiple vehicles.
“I can confirm that I was the passenger in Brandon Miller’s car at the time of the shooting,” Mr. Lee, 21, said in an email to The Times.
Mr. Lee, who is not accused of wrongdoing, declined to comment further beyond confirming that Mr. Spears was not in the car.
His LinkedIn profile lists him as a hospitality and sports management major at the university.
