US EditionMan has charges upgraded in case of sports reporter's death while covering Super Bowl
- Adan Manzano, a 27-year-old Telemundo Kansas City sports reporter, was found dead on February 5 in a Kenner, Louisiana hotel room during Super Bowl week.
- Manzano's death followed an ongoing scheme where Danette Colbert and Rickey White allegedly drugged victims, leading to upgraded charges including second-degree murder for both.
- Investigators cited toxicology showing Manzano died of asphyxiation caused by alcohol and Xanax, and security footage captured Colbert entering and later leaving Manzano’s room alone.
- Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley stated Colbert and White acted "hand-in-hand in concert," supported by text messages where Colbert used terms like "knock out" to coordinate drug use.
- Both Colbert and White remain jailed without bail, and authorities continue investigating the case, emphasizing it exposes a broader pattern of similar crimes involving drugging and theft.
