A woman has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of a television reporter last month while he was on assignment to cover the Super Bowl in New Orleans, authorities said Tuesday.
Kansas City Telemundo anchor and reporter Adan Manzano, 27, was found dead on Feb. 5 in a New Orleans hotel room. Later that week, Danette Colbert, 48, was arrested on charges she had stolen Manzano’s bank cards and cellphone.
Authorities said Colbert was captured on surveillance video entering Manzano’s hotel room with him the last time he was seen alive. They also alleged that she was caught with his phone and credit cards.
On Tuesday, a second-degree murder charge was added against Colbert and police said a suspected accomplice had also been arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on fraud and theft charges.
