A major update was just released on the shocking death of Adan Manzano.
The Telemundo reporter who was found dead in a New Orleans hotel room just days before the Super Bowl has now resulted in two arrests.
At the time of his death, he was unknowingly lured into a hotel room by the so-called “Bourbon Street Hustler” Danette Colbert, who was found with his cell phone and credit card in her home.
A second suspect is now facing a second-degree murder charge in connection with the Feb. 5 death of Adan Manzano.
Police revealed they have obtained an arrest warrant for Rickey White for the new charge after “continued investigative efforts.”

He is now the second person to be charged with the murder of Manzano. The first person to be charged with his murder was Danette Colbert, the woman who investigators say drugged Manzano, which ultimately led to his death.
Adan Manzano’s Death Came Less Than One Year After He Lost His Wife
Adan Manzano’s tragic death was sad for multiple reasons.
Manzano’s tragic death comes less than a year after he lost his wife, Ashleigh Boyd. In April 2024, Boyd died in a fatal car crash, per The Topeka Capital-Journal. She was 24 years old.
Boyd was driving with her and Manzano’s infant daughter, Eleanor, in the vehicle. Boyd’s car “collided head-on” with a pickup truck. She was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.
The baby was transported to the hospital and recovered.
Now, their child has been left with no parents.
