Adan Manzano, a Telemundo reporter out of Kansas City, was in New Orleans in February to cover Super Bowl LIX. After crossing paths with Danette Colbert, Adan Manzano was later found dead, and now Colbert faces charges of second-degree murder.
As reported by local news outlet KHOU, Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley announced at a Tuesday (March 18) news conference that Dannette Colbert now faces a second-degree murder charge after previously being booked on charges of fraud and theft after Adan Manzano was found dead at a Kenner hotel.
Colbert was seen on security video at the hotel in question alongside Manzano and leaving alone one hour afterward. Police say that Colbert reportedly used the reporter’s credit card after he died. Manzano’s cell phone and credit card were later found at Colbert’s residence in Slidell.
In addition, an accomplice of Colbert, Ricky White, was arrested in Florida on charges of simple robbery, purse snatching, access device fraud, illegal transfer of monetary funds, bank fraud, and computer fraud. White is currently awaiting extradition to Louisiana to face the charges.
Colbert, who has a lengthy criminal record, is currently jailed at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center.

Nas EBK’s legal woes just took a turn for the worse. The rapper was recently arrested for second-degree murder in New York City.
As spotted on Complex the South Bronx native has been booked on some serious charges. Last week he was picked up for his alleged involvement in a shooting that occurred on Thursday, February 9 in the Times Square district of midtown Manhattan. Police say the artist, born Nasir Valenzuela, shot Idrissa Siby in the chest after a supposed argument. He was picked up by police Friday, March 10.
This is the second time this year the rapper has been in trouble with the law. Back in February EBK was arrested by U.S. Marshalls for making terrorist threats during a YouTube skit with fellow prankster Bubba100x; the same jokester who tried to get too familiar with Maino. In the video, Nas EBK was seen approaching Shoprite shoppers and asking weird questions and responding back by screaming. The goof got intense when he pulled a hat off an employee and eventually pulled out a knife and said “walk toward me again and I’ll violate you”.
Nas EBK has denied committing the murder via an Instagram post. “INNOCENT!! ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME !!! BE HOME SOON !! FREE DA GUYS !!” the caption read. He is currently being held at Bergen County Jail.
