WOMAN ARRESTED AFTER TELEMUNDO REPORTER FOUND DEAD IN NEW ORLEANS HOTEL‼️

👉A woman with a history of drugging men and stealing their credit cards was arrested in a New Orleans suburb after a sports reporter covering the Super Bowl was found dead in his hotel room.

Adan Manzano, a 27-year-old sports reporter based in Topeka, Kansas, was in town to cover the Super Bowl for Telemundo Kansas City and Tico Sports, according to a social media post from Telemundo Kansas City.

According to local reports, Manzano’s wife died in a car accident last year. He leaves behind a 2-year-old daughter.

According to police in Kenner, a suburb of New Orleans, Manzano was found unresponsive in his hotel room Wednesday. His colleagues called the hotel for a wellness check after he missed a morning appointment, Nola.com reports.

A woman, later identified as Danette Colbert of Slidell, Louisiana, was seen on hotel security video with Manzano on the morning of Feb. 5. She was also seen leaving the room alone later that morning.

Investigators said she used Manzano’s credit card at several stores in the New Orleans area.

Colbert was arrested and is facing charges of bank fraud, computer fraud, illegal transmission of monetary funds, access device fraud and purse snatching. Colbert has a history of drugging men and stealing credit cards, police said. She has not been arrested for Manzano’s death.

Manzano’s cause of death has not been released. The Jefferson Parish Coroner’s Office is awaiting test results and hasn’t said yet whether he was drugged.

According to Nola.com, authorities said there were no signs of obvious trauma to his body.

In January 2022, Colbert was arrested in Las Vegas and accused of stealing $50,000 in cash and a slew of valuable items.

According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, a man told police that he met two women at a bar and invited them back up to his hotel room. He said he woke up with a bloody nose and found that $50,000 cash, a Rolex watch worth $30,000, $11,000 in casino chips, his iPhone 11, a Louis Vuitton luggage bag worth $5,000 and a satchel valued at $2,000 were all missing.

Six months later, she was arrested again in Las Vegas for a similar crime, in which a man said he invited two women back to his hotel room and believed he was drugged. The next morning, his Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch worth $60,000, $1,500 in casino chips and his credit card were missing.

She's also been convicted of targeting Bourbon Street tourists in New Orleans and illegally using their credit cards, according to Nola.com.

WATER POLO COACH ACCUSED OF S*XUALLY ASSAULTING A MINOR‼️

👉SOUTHLAKE, Texas - A Roanoke man is accused of s*xually assaulting a minor while he worked as a water polo coach for a private club.

The Southlake Police Department says it arrested Adrian Joseph Maher, 26, of Roanoke, Wednesday night.

Police say Maher’s arrest stems from reports of abuse that happened while he worked as a coach for a local private water polo club. Once the allegations were made, police say the private club fired him.

Maher is charged with s*xual assault of a child, indecency with a child and solicitation of a minor.

Police say because of the victim’s age and the sensitive nature of the investigation, they won’t be releasing any further information at this time.

It’s unclear how many possible victims police believe there are.

Police did not provide a timeline of when the alleged assault took place or how long Maher worked at the private club.

Investigators did not name the private club.

Maher is being held in the Tarrant County jail. No bond has been set.

Southlake police are asking parents with children who came into contact with Maher and suspect abuse to call Det. Roberson at 817-748-8235.

POLICE AND FAMILY SEARCH FOR HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER WHO KILLED 40-YEAR OLD ON HIS SKATEBOARD‼️

👉FORT WORTH, Texas - The family of a man who died this week after a hit-and-run crash in Fort Worth is hoping the driver who struck him will come forward.

Video from a home surveillance camera captured the aftermath. Witnesses who heard the crash rushed out to help.

Ryon Smith, 40, was riding his skateboard when a driver hit him and drove off. He died Wednesday after spending several days in the hospital.

The crash happened Sunday night on Wedgewood Drive in Southwest Fort Worth.

Video from a neighbor’s surveillance camera captured the aftermath.

Paramedics rushed to the scene of the hit-and-run. A neighbor can be heard trying to comfort a perfect stranger in the middle of the street, clinging to life.

While Fort Worth police have not confirmed the victim’s name, family members say it was 40-year-old Smith.

Investigators say the person who hit Smith briefly stopped and then fled the scene.

The surveillance video did not capture the actual crash, but it has been shared with investigators. Police have not provided a description of what kind of vehicle they’re looking for.

Jerame Worthington is the man heard in the surveillance video trying to comfort Smith. He says he was jostled out of bed when he heard the crash in front of his home.

WOMAN KIDNAPPED IN DALLAS AND KILLED BY TRUCK DRIVER WAS VICTIM OF S*X-TRAFFICKING‼️

👉TEXAS - A federal jury convicted a Texas truck driver of picking up a s*x worker in Dallas and then dumping her dead body in the woods of East Texas.

The Austin-based truck driver will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars for the killing.

The victim of the family says she was a 25-year-old U.S. Army veteran who was also the victim of s*x trafficking.

Amanda Pettit with Rescue Hill, a non-profit providing resources to human trafficking victims, says the pick-up began in Dallas’ "blade," a slang term referring to a street where prostitution is common.

"That was in the Harry Hines area, and that’s considered our blade," she explained.

Family members have identified the woman as 25-year-old Caleigha Zangari, from San Diego, California. She spent time in the Army. Somewhere down the line, she became a s*x-trafficking victim.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas says Zangari had online s*x ads posted in Dallas from Aug. 9-15

Hazzard exchanged more than a dozen messages with her. On Aug. 15, surveillance video shows Zangari getting into Hazzard’s truck.

On the night of the kidnapping, phone records tracked Hazzard’s movements.

Records show Hazzard traveling to a parking lot where he met Zangari. He stayed there for about 17 minutes before driving off to East Texas.

Cell data shows Hazzard’s phone and Zangari’s phone pinged in the same areas at the same time until her phone was turned off. Investigators found it on the side of LBJ Freeway.

Belongings left in Zangari’s vehicle at the parking lot were later found by investigators.

While he was in Pittsburg, Texas, Hazzard texted his boss saying he would be out sick the next day. He stayed in the area for about an hour before completing a work assignment.

The next day, records show Hazzard and his wife returned to the area before having dinner in nearby Tyler.

Following the visit to East Texas, police discovered Hazzard had switched phones, deleted his Google and Life360 location-sharing accounts and cleaned his truck with bleach.

Naasson Hazzard's sentencing is scheduled for June 12.

Although Hazzard has not yet been sentenced, the charge he was convicted of carries an automatic life sentence. He was charged via criminal complaint in August and indicted in October.

Hazzard will remain in detention until his sentencing.

3 CABLE AND COPPER WIRE THIEVES ARRESTED IN FORT WORTH‼️

The three people busted on Monday were identified as 57-year-old Danny Kempe and 48-year-old Sheldon Witt from Fort Worth, and 42-year-old Darcie Jackson from Granbury.

23-YEAR OLD GETS LIFE IN PRISON FOR MURDERING HIS GIRLFRIEND OVER HER ABORTION‼️

👉DALLAS - The Dallas man who killed his girlfriend because she had an abortion has been sentenced to life in prison.

Earlier this week, Dallas County jurors found 23-year-old Harold Thompson guilty of murder.

He was then sentenced to life in prison for the death of 26-year-old Gabriella Gonzalez.

Gonzalez was shot and killed in May of 2023 in a West Oak Cliff parking lot.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit, cameras captured video of Thompson trying to put Gonzalez in a choke hold, but she was able to get away.

He then pulled out a gun and shot her once in the head. He fired several more shots into her before running away, according to the affidavit.

Investigators later determined that Thompson and Gonzalez were in a relationship.

They also learned he had an active family violence strangulation warrant, and she had just returned from Colorado, where she had terminated her pregnancy.

Thompson was believed to be the father, and he did not want her to get an abortion, the affidavit said.
