Three suspects are now under arrest in connection with the hazing death of Southern University student Caleb Wilson. Kyle Thurman was arrested in Port Allen yesterday, and Isaiah Smith turned himself in this morning. Baton Rouge Police Lieutenant L’Jean McKneely says police had expected Thurman to turn himself in as well.
“We had many communications with Thurman, and we had arranged for him to turn himself in on this past Friday,” McKneely said.
However, Lieutenant McKneely says, that never materialized.
“When he did not, then we used our available resources to locate him. After locating him, we were able to apprehend him,” McKneely said.(L-R); Caleb McCray, Isaiah Smith, Kyle Thurman (Photos courtesy of Baton Rouge Police Department)
23-year-old Caleb McCray turned himself in last Friday. Investigators say Wilson died after being punched in the stomach during a hazing ritual with the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. McKneely says it’s possible that more arrests could be forthcoming.
“We are continuing with doing our part in the investigation. Additional charges may or may not be added to the three individuals who have been arrested,” McKneely said.
