Adan Manzano was a sports reporter who tragically passed away in his hotel room in New Orleans before Super Bowl LIX. The 27-year-old had been covering the big game for a local Telemundo station in Kansas City. Police are investigating his death and its possible connection to a woman named Danette Colbert, who has a history of fraud schemes in the city.
Manzano was found dead in his hotel room in Kenner, Louisiana, with signs suggesting he may have been drugged. Security footage showed him entering his room with Colbert, who was later arrested and charged with property crimes, fraud, and theft-related offenses. Items belonging to Manzano, including his credit card and phone, were found in Colbert's possession.
Manzano's family, friends, and colleagues remember him as a dedicated professional and a loving individual. His sudden death has left a void in the sports journalism community.



Colbert, described as a 'career criminal' by police, has a history of similar incidents involving drugging individuals to facilitate theft. While she is not currently facing charges related to Manzano's death, investigators are exploring all available evidence to determine the circumstances surrounding his passing.
Toxicology reports are pending to shed light on the cause of Manzano's death. Colbert's criminal record includes previous charges of fraud and theft in various jurisdictions. Police are urging anyone with information related to similar crimes or suspicious deaths to come forward.
