Catch the episode tomorrow, March 6th, on ABC.

After a recent podcast true crime deep dive, ESPN is partnering with 20/20 to bring Murder at the U to TV screens around the country.

What’s Happening:

Bryan Pata was a 22-year-old Miami Hurricanes football player preparing for the National Football League draft when he was shot and killed outside his off-campus apartment.
After the murder, investigators were unable to identify the shooter, and the case went cold for 15 years despite his mother’s public appeals for justice.
ESPN spent years investigating the case, producing the Murder at The U podcast under its 30 for 30 banner.

ESPN’s reporting revealed new developments that renewed public attention on Pata’s murder.
After ESPN published its investigation, former teammate Rashaun Jones was arrested in connection with the killing.
Jones’ trial ended in a mistrial, and he continues to maintain his innocence, leaving the question of who fired the fatal shot unresolved.
The case is revisited in 20/20’s episode “Murder at The U,” created in partnership with ESPN.
The episode airs March 6 on ABC and streams the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.
