It has been 13 years since Cheryl Pitts-Bryant saw her son, BJ Bryant, alive.
According to investigators, Bryant, a rising Hampton University senior, was fatally stabbed inside a bar near the school on July 17, 2005. A rising sophomore, Jihad Ramadan, was immediately charged with Bryant’s murder, but was not apprehended.
U.S. marshals once again broke the crime down to News 3 on Thursday following the airing of John Walsh’s show "In Pursuit," where national attention has been re-focused on this case.
Marshals said a bar fight broke out between two groups of HU students and Ramadan stabbed Bryant, dropped the knife and ran. He was last seen in New York getting out of his vehicle, speaking to family before disappearing, according to the
USMS.
