In a breaking report earlier this afternoon, The Miami Herald is reporting that former Miami Hurricanes S Rashaun Jones has been charged with and arrested for the murder of former Miami Hurricanes DL Bryan Pata.
This is the conclusion of a situation that has been ongoing for 15 years. Pata was murdered on November 7, 2006 outside of his apartment just minutes away from campus. The team, program, and University family at-large mourned the untimely death of the 22 year old Pata in the days following his murder. The team even printed his picture and dedicated the next game to Pata’s memory, which can be seen below:
The chilling part of that: Jones, who was arrested today with Pata’s murder, is #38 in the picture (far left), kneeling in the front row of the players mourning their fallen friend….ostensibly days after he was the one who murdered Pata.
