Pata death investigation ongoing Sunset burglary case needs tips
It has been two years since the murder of former University of Miami stu-dent
and football player Bryan Pata, and the investigation is ongoing, according
to Miami-Dade Police.
Pata, formerly a criminology major and defensive lineman for the Miami
Hurricanes, was shot dead at the age of 22 outside his apartment complex on
Nov. 7, 2006.
“This is an ongoing case,” Roy Rutland, detective for the Miami-Dade Police
Department, said. “Our investigators have followed leads from the beginning.
At this point, we are asking the public to revisit this case and possibly provide
additional leads in the case.”
To anonymously submit information about this case, please call 305-471-
TIPS or visit www.crimestoppersmiami.com.
South Miami police are asking for help in identifying two black males who
used a sledgehammer to break into the display case in front of Mayor’s Jewelers
at the Shops at Sunset Place on Oct. 30.
Both men were captured by surveillance cameras fl eeing from the west
side of the mall and were also seen by witnesses.
The incident occurred just before 8 p.m., and several pieces of jewelry were
stolen from the window display.
South Miami Police are investigating the case and are asking the public to
call if they have any information, said Major Michael Mills of the South Miami
Police Department.
Members of the public are urged to call South Miami Police at 305-663-
6301, or Miami-Dade Crimestoppers at 305-471-TIPS. A reward of up to $1,000 is
available for information leading to the arrest and conviction of these individu-als
through the Crimestoppers program.
Captive-raised turtles released into the wild, follow their journey
Milton and Feebee, two juvenile loggerhead sea turtles raised in captivity, will be released into the Indian River Lagoon near Sebastian Inlet today.
The turtles will be satellite tagged by Kate Mansfi eld of the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science and released by
marine conservationist Kirt Rusenko and staff from the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton.
“Since it is only two turtles, this is not truly a “scientifi c” study, but we hope to tag most if not all of our turtles in the future, and that cumulative data will
give us some solid scientifi c information on the wild behavior of captive-reared turtles,” Rusenko said. “FeeBee [was] already capturing fi sh in her tank and
eating them, I expect she will transition easily to the wild. Milton is more of a mystery as he seems far less aggressive than FeeBee.”
The public can follow the paths of Milton and FeeBee on their adventure into the wild through the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center at www.gumbolimbo.org.
