Death of Telemundo reporter covering Super Bowl LIX leads to woman’s arrest Police arrest woman caught fraudulently using Adan Manzano’s credit card after being seen leaving Louisiana hotel room where his body was found.
The reporter, Adan Manzano of Kansas City’s Telemundo affiliate, was staying at a hotel in Kenner, Louisiana – which is home to New Orleans’ international airport – to cover the game when he was found dead on Wednesday.
Hotel surveillance video showed Manzano, 27, with a woman later identified as Danette Colbert before she later left his room alone, Keith Conley, the Kenner police chief, said on Friday.
A woman who has previously been accused of drugging men and stealing has been arrested amid an investigation into the death of a journalist who was covering Sunday’s Super Bowl in New Orleans – and whose body was discovered in his hotel room.
Downing remembered Manzano as “enthusiastic and very well-loved and appreciated by the sports teams that he covered here”, including the Kansas City Chiefs, who are pursuing an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl championship in New Orleans on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
