A suspect has been arrested in relation to the death of the sports journalist of Kansas City Adan Manzano, who died while covering the festivities of the Super Bowl Lix in New Orleans this week.
Police in Kenner, Louisiana, says they arrested Danette Colbert after they found her using the credit card of the reporter who died in several stores in the New Orleans area, according to a police report provided to Dailymail.com.
Security images show Colbert with Manzano on Wednesday morning before Colbert is seen leaving the Manzano hotel hours later, according to researchers.
Manzano was finally found unanswered at his hotel.
Currently, Colbert is only reserved in real estate crimes, such as fraud and robbery, according to the police. A resident of Slidell, Louisiana, Colbert, was arrested in January 2022 for allegedly druging a man and stealing $ 50,000 in the Strip in Las Vegas. Colbert would deny the man, but was accused in Nevada again in May and July for similar accusations.
Kenner's police are asking any person with information about the case to be called to the Criminal Investigation Division at (504) 712-222 or Crime Stoppers at (504) 822-1111.
