So there was information in the police report and it seemed like as the police were interviewing witnesses in this case, this is the thing that consistently came up with every person that they spoke to at the beginning of this investigation.

And there was a fight that happened at a club between Brian Pata,

Willie Williams is another football player.

There were another couple football players from the University of Miami there as well.

And then Brian's brother, Fednal.

They were on one side of an altercation.

And then on the other side of the altercation were some individuals who were known to be involved in some gang activity.

the west side boys gang was what's named in the in the reports and two individuals are named specifically as being involved in that fight and being involved with that gang and this wasn't you know a normal fight there were accounts of this fight starting inside the club making its way outside the club somebody got their neck cut with uh with a knife or with a razor somebody was hit in the head with a pipe it was a serious serious altercation and then

At the end of the fight, one of the two people who were named, who were said to be affiliated with this gang, looked over to Brian Pata and Willie Williams in that group and said, we're going to get you.

We're coming to get you.

And that's where it starts.

And then a few weeks later, Willie Williams, one of the other football players who was involved, reaches out to Brian and says that he heard from three individuals who

He names Brandon Ash is the only full name that he gives.

Then he gives two other names, Tony, a first name only, and then a third name, also first name only, and says three people have called him and said that there is a hit out on himself and on Brian Pata as a result of this fight.

Now, some time goes on.

There's some accounts and reports that they sort of thought it was squashed, that this hit was taken care of for a period of time.

And then sometime in the middle of October, Brian gets a call from Willie Williams as well.

on the speaker next telephone and his girlfriend overhears this where willie williams says hey man i thought you said that these hits were were taken care of that we had no further issues but i'm still hearing from people that there's a hit out on us and at this point and as far as the report goes um brian's girlfriend jada says that he gets visibly nervous he says you know i thought i took care of it i just saw him there were no problems

and then makes a comment to his girlfriend about how he wants to change his license plate because he's worried about this.

This is something he takes seriously.
