MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A spokesperson for the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office confirmed on Wednesday that Internal Affairs detectives have been investigating Homicide Detective Juan Segovia.
About 15 years after the murder of Bryan Pata, a 22-year-old defensive lineman for the Miami Hurricanes, Segovia moved to arrest Rashaun Jones, a former Miami Hurricanes cornerback.
Jones’s defense claimed that an outside firm found evidence that Segovia had an Instagram account linked to his phone number, email, and IP address, that he had used in violation of a court order.
On Monday, Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Cristina Miranda granted the defense’s emergency motion to prevent the deletion of the Instagram account and its comments.
Jones has been awaiting a retrial after his trial for Pata’s murder in February ended with a hung jury.
Segovia, who is also a member of the Miami Dade College Board of Trustees, did not respond to Local 10 News requests for comment.
