Louisiana college student died after being punched in chest during hazing, police say

An arrest has been made in connection with the death of a 20-year-old Southern University student after an off-campus fraternity hazing ritual, Baton Rouge authorities announced Friday.

Baton Rouge Police Department Chief Thomas Morse Jr. told reporters at a briefing that Caleb Wilson "died as a direct result of a hazing incident where he was punched in the chest multiple times while pledging to Omega Psi Phi fraternity." 

Caleb McCray, 23, was arrested Thursday evening and faces charges of manslaughter and criminal hazing in the death of Wilson, a mechanical engineering junior at the school who died in late February. McCray is a former Southern University student, according to CBS News affiliate WAFB.
