Cocoa Crimes is a Black true crime podcast centering young lives cut short, told with care and context. Each episode honors humanity over spectacle and examines how perspective shapes which stories are remembered.
In Fort Walton Beach, Florida, a bitter custody battle placed two parents at odds over the future of their young daughter. As tensions continued building, father Edgar Jennings III remained determined to have a place in his child’s life. This is a story about toxic co-parenting, complicated family dynamics, and why the term “deadbeat parent” does not belong to only one gender.

Collateral Damage - The Legacy of Darrent Williams
Darrent Williams spent his life outrunning the violence that surrounded so many young men growing up in his neighborhood. Through relentless determination, he turned his dream into reality, earning a spot with the Denver Broncos and becoming one of the NFL's brightest young cornerbacks. Then, during a New Year's Eve celebration in downtown Denver, a split-second act of gang violence changed countless lives forever.
In this episode of Cocoa Crimes™, we examine Darrent's journey from Fort Worth to the NFL, the investigation that followed his murder, the ripple effects felt by his family, teammates, and the Broncos organization, and the legacy that continues to honor the man behind the jersey.
Because sometimes the greatest tragedy is not who was targeted, but who was lost.
