By rssfeeds-admin KENNER, La. (WGNO) — A man identified as an alleged accomplice in the investigation of the death of a Kansas City sports reporter will face another charge, according to the Kenner Police Department.
On Monday, May 5, the KPD reported that a warrant was obtained for Rickey White’s arrest on a charge of second-degree murder in connection with the February death of 27-year-old Adan Manzano, a Telemundo reporter who was on assignment in New Orleans.
White was initially arrested on property charges in the case.
He is accused of being the accomplice of Danette Colbert, who had been arrested on property charges in connection with the investigation on Feb. 7.
Colbert is accused of using Manzano’s credit card at New Orleans-area businesses.
Kenner Police Chief Kieth Conely said Colbert and Manzano were allegedly seen on surveillance footage entering a Kenner hotel together and Colbert leaving alone.
Police allege Colbert has a record of drugging men and stealing credit cards.
At a Feb. 25 court hearing, it was announced that Xanax had been found in Manzano’s autopsy.
In March, KPD officials reported that Colbert would face a second-degree murder charge in the case and identified White as an alleged accomplice.
On April 3, a Jefferson Parish judge ruled that White would be held without bond.
