FAYETTEVILLE — Greg Bryant was driving his stepfather’s black four-door Chrysler from a club south on I-95 in South Florida in the early hours of May 7, 2016, when the vehicle behind him flickered its lights.
It was Mother’s Day weekend, and Bryant, an electrifying football talent at American Heritage School in Delray Beach, Fla., who signed with Notre Dame and later transferred and committed to help revitalize a once-dormant Alabama-Birmingham program, had planned to return home to surprise his mother. He never got the chance.
The trailing car sped up alongside Bryant’s and let off a flurry of rounds in his direction.
