A campus already grieving from a student’s murder was about to face a second nightmare. João Souza came to Binghamton University to study engineering, play soccer, and build the future he dreamed of. But on a quiet April night, he was attacked inside his freshman dorm, sending the campus into panic and confusion.
As detectives began piecing together João’s final hours, they concentrated on the people around him, trying to understand whether anyone had reason to hate him. Interviews, security footage, and early witness accounts slowly narrowed the possibilities, pointing investigators toward someone connected to his daily life — someone whose presence on campus would become central to the case.
In this episode of Murder U, we trace the steps that led police to a suspect, the shocking events inside the dorm, and the devastating loss felt by everyone who knew João.
