Louisiana police on Tuesday are announcing an update in the Feb. 5 death of a Super Bowl reporter’s drug death in a suburb of New Orleans.

Adan Manzano, a 27-year-old Telemundo sports reporter based in Kansas City, Missouri, traveled to New Orleans on assignment to cover the Super Bowl in February and was found dead in his room at the Comfort Suites hotel in Kenner with Xanax in his system.

Two days after Manzano was found, police arrested and charged 45-year-old Danette Colbert, nicknamed the “Bourbon Street Hustler” on social media, with multiple fugitive and fraud charges, as well as a robbery charge, in connection with the young reporter’s death. Authorities believe she may have drugged Manzano and then stolen his credit cards before authorities found him dead.

Colbert, who, according to police, is known for coercing and tricking male victims to rob them in New Orleans and Las Vegas, was denied bond last month.

Authorities executed a search warrant at Colbert’s address after identifying her as a potential suspect in connection with Manzano’s death and located a stolen gun that did not appear to be related to Manzano’s death and narcotics.

Colbert may face additional charges as the investigation into Manzano’s death develops.

Telemundo 39 remembered Manzano in a statement as “a true professional and a rising star who exemplified excellence in his work.”

“We will deeply miss Adan and his passion for sports and the contributions he made to the local community,” the statement says.
