Alabama guard Kai Spears refuted a report alleging he was at the scene of the fatal shooting of Jamea Harris.
"I have one thing to say—the report in the New York Times was 100% inaccurate and the writer had complete disregard for the truth," Spears said Thursday on Instagram. "I am trying to process and cope with these false statements that somehow have been published and then seen by so many."
