On the football field, Bryan Pata was destined for success. A 22-year-old defensive lineman for the University of Miami Hurricanes, Bryan was expected to be selected in the NFL Draft in the Spring of 2007. But before Bryan ever got the chance to make it big, he was shot and killed just outside his apartment near the University of Miami campus. His team mourned together, unaware that the person responsible for the crime may have been among them.

Homicide Detective with the Miami-Dade Police Department's Cold Case Unit Juan Segovia brings details of the senseless murder and explains how his department was able to make an arrest in the case, 15 years later.
