"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," Tuscaloosa Police Capt. Jack Kennedy said in a news conference Sunday evening. They didn't have a previous relationship, he said.

He said the driver of another vehicle, in which Harris was a passenger, alerted campus police near Bryant-Denny Stadium at about 1:45 a.m. saying that someone had shot into the vehicle, and he fired back.

One of the suspects was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at a local hospital, and Kennedy declined to disclose who fired the gun or who was hurt.

"The University of Alabama’s utmost priority is the safety and well-being of the campus community," a university statement said according to the Associated Press. "We are grieved by the incident that occurred near campus last night and extend our deepest condolences to the victim’s family and friends."
