A college football player faces serious charges after police say an argument with a training teammate resulted in a fatal triple shootout at a Miami Gardens hotel.
Jeremiah Trevon Harris, 19, faces one charge of second degree murder and two charges of attempted second degree murder in Tuesday’s shooting at the Stadium Hotel, according to an arrest report.
According to the report, Harris, a football player for ASA College, had an argument with a teammate in training.

The argument ended with a shootout at the hotel, where the college houses student-athletes.
The arrest report said surveillance footage showed the three victims going to Harris’ hotel room, where words were exchanged and Harris pulled out a handgun and opened fire.
Three victims, all 19 years old, were injured in the shooting. Harris’ teammate was rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The other two suffered non-life threatening injuries.
The police did not disclose the identity of the three victims.
The report says Harris left the gun in a first-floor bathroom and then told a trainer he shot all three victims.
Harris later told detectives that “he watched one of the victims move aggressively towards him, and he got scared and fired,” the report said.
Harris appeared in court on Wednesday morning, where he was sentenced to detention without bail. Information on the lawyer was not available.
In a statement, the ASA said classes were canceled until Thursday in light of the incident.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this tragedy,” the statement said.
