A Louisiana woman who was previously facing fraud and other charges after the death of sports reporter Adan Manzano has now been charged with second-degree murder in his death, the Kenner Police Department announced Tuesday.

Authorities in Louisiana say a woman has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of a television reporter on assignment to cover the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

New evidence directly linking Danette Colbert to Adan Manzano's death allowed detectives to obtain an arrest warrant for an upgraded charge to murder, police said.
