Two more arrested in connection with Southern University fraternity hazing death

Two more individuals, Kyle Thurman, 25, and Isaiah Smith, 28, have been arrested in connection with the February death of Southern University student Caleb Wilson, who died after a hazing ritual.

They face felony criminal hazing charges. Last week, Caleb McCray, 23, was arrested for criminal hazing and manslaughter after allegedly punching Wilson four times.

Smith, who was in charge of the ritual, was seen on video bringing Wilson to the hospital, where false statements were made about his condition.

Wilson’s death was deemed a direct result of hazing, the Associated Press has reported.

Hazing is a felony under Louisiana’s Max Gruver Act, which could lead to fines and prison time for the perpetrators and the fraternity involved.
