Michael Davis Murder Trial Features Key Witness Testimonies

The capital murder trial of Michael 'Buzz' Davis in Tuscaloosa centers on the fatal shooting of Jamea Harris near the University of Alabama campus on January 15, 2023. Testimony revealed that Davis fired into a Jeep carrying Harris, her boyfriend Cedric Johnson, and her cousin, resulting in Harris's death, while Davis's defense claims he acted in self-defense after Johnson allegedly fired first. Cedric Johnson, a key witness, testified that Davis threatened him and acted aggressively just before the shooting, while Jaden Bradley, a former Alabama basketball player, recounted trying to pull Davis away from a confrontation with the Jeep but said Davis later went back to look for it. Bradley also testified that neither party appeared to threaten the other initially, but the situation escalated. The gun used in the shooting reportedly belonged to Darius Miles, a former Alabama basketball player who is also charged with capital murder for allegedly providing the weapon to Davis but is being tried separately. The trial has included testimony from multiple witnesses, including Bradley, and may also feature former player Brandon Miller, whose car was allegedly used to retrieve the gun.
