Overview

• Caleb Wilson, a 20-year-old Southern University student, died on February 27 after sustaining fatal injuries during a hazing incident while pledging Omega Psi Phi fraternity.
• Three students—Caleb McCray, Isaiah Smith, and Kyle Thurman—have been charged in connection with Wilson's death, with McCray facing manslaughter and criminal hazing charges.
• Police allege Wilson and other pledges were punched multiple times with boxing gloves at an off-campus warehouse, causing Wilson to collapse and later die in the hospital.
• Authorities say no one called 911 to assist Wilson, who was transported to the hospital unresponsive by Smith in altered clothing and left by the group before police arrived.
• Southern University has suspended all membership intake activities for student organizations, and the Omega Psi Phi chapter has been ordered to cease operations as the investigation continues.
