Bryan Pata: Two years gone, still no answers

Friends, family and teammates lost Bryan Pata to a senseless murder on November 6th, 2006 in the parking lot of his Kendall apartment, The Colony, miles from the University of Miami’s campus.

Two years later, no new answers.

ESPN’s Elizabeth Merrill did a piece for Outside The Lines called “Praying For Closure”. If you haven’t read the piece, click here and take a few minutes today to remember the Pata family and a fallen Hurricane.

Though it’s a longshot at this point, anyone with any information please call Crime Stoppers at 305.471.TIPS.

  • It was a great article and I was very happy the media did not forget Bryan. We have to ignore the "Don't be a snitch" crap that's going on now. It's not about being a snitch - it's about doing what's right and making our communities better places. Someone knows something, and if you don't want to be associated with the case then leave information anonymously. End the Pata's and Canes' grief. There is no need to protect a punk coward who has to use a gun. These types are nothing but leeches in the community and deserve to be sent away. Give closure and let Bryan rest in peace. You don't have to get all the way involved to get the case solved.
