A third suspect wanted in connection with the hazing death of Southern University student Caleb Wilson has surrendered. Isaiah Smith turned himself in this morning. Smith along with 23-year-old Caleb McCray and Kyle Thurman are facing felony charges for their role in Wilson’s death last month. Authorities say Wilson died after being punched in the stomach during a hazing ritual with the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. McCray was arrested late last week, and Thurman was arrested by Baton Rouge Police and U.S. marshals yesterday.
