Baton Rouge Hazing Death: What Happened to Caleb Wilson and What His Family Can Do Now If your child died pledging a fraternity, you are not reading this page casually. You are sitting in a house that has a bedroom no one can walk into yet. You may have just buried a son, a brother, a grandson — a young man who left for college and came home in a way no parent should ever have to receive. And you are hearing two stories at once: the criminal case on the news, and a silence from the organizations that were supposed to protect him. We are going to tell you what the law actually says in Louisiana, what the evidence looks like right now, what the fraternity and the university are already doing to protect themselves, and what your family can still do to hold the right people accountable. You do not have to carry this alone, and you do not have to figure out the legal system at the worst moment of your life. That is what we do. In February 2025, a Southern University student named Caleb Wilson died after being punched repeatedly in the chest while pledging…

When a Fraternity Takes Your Child: The Baton Rouge Hazing Wrongful Death Lawsuit You are reading this at a kitchen table or in a car outside a courthouse, and the worst thing that can happen to a parent has already happened. Your son went off to college — a junior, a mechanical engineering student, a musician in a marching band that people drive across the state to hear — and he did not come home. He did not die in a car wreck or from an illness nobody could have stopped. He died because people he trusted, people who called him “brother,” punched him in the chest until his heart stopped, and then, when he collapsed, they did not call 911. They drove him to a hospital themselves, told the staff a story that was not true, and left him there alone. We are not going to pretend that words on a page can reach the depth of that loss. What we can do — and what this page exists to do — is tell you, in plain language, exactly what the law gives you, what the people who killed your son are already doing to protect themselves, and what…

Baton Rouge Hazing Death Ruled Homicide: What It Means When a Coroner Says a Fraternity Killed Your Child You are reading this at the hour when the house is quiet and the grief is loud. Maybe it has been weeks since that phone call, or maybe it has been months and the coroner’s ruling just came down and now the word “homicide” is sitting in your chest like a stone. Either way, you are here because your child went to college to learn mechanical engineering and play in the Human Jukebox marching band, and instead he came home in a way no parent should ever have to bury. The East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner did not call this an accident. The coroner called it what it is — a homicide, caused by cardiac arrest from a blow to the chest, delivered during an underground pledging ritual that was supposed to have been banned thirty-five years ago. We are Attorney911. We are a trial firm that takes hazing wrongful death cases in Louisiana, working with local counsel where required, and we are writing this page for one person: the parent, the sibling, the family member who is searching at 2 a.m.…

When the School You Trusted Fails Your Child: The Ursuline Hazing Lawsuit You are sitting at your kitchen table at two in the morning, and you just read the headline. A second former Ursuline High School football player has joined a federal lawsuit alleging a culture of hazing and sexual abuse going back to at least 2022. The attorney for the victims says his office has more than a dozen videos of players filming the abuse of multiple teammates. And the allegation that stops your heart: when the principal was presented with videos of assault and child pornography, his response was to tell students to destroy the evidence and keep quiet. Your child played football at Ursuline. Or your child is there now. Or your child knows someone on that team. And the question that is keeping you awake is the one no parent should ever have to ask: was my child one of them — and who is going to be held accountable for what happened? We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are a trial firm that takes catastrophic injury and institutional accountability cases, and right now we are lead counsel in an active hazing…

Five men indicted by grand jury in connection with Southern University student Caleb Wilson’s hazing death – The Advocate

Baton Rouge Fraternity Hazing Death: What the Grand Jury Indictments Mean for a Civil Case If your family is reading this, you already know what happened. A 20-year-old Kenner native — a trumpet player in Southern University’s Human Jukebox marching band — is dead after a fraternity ritual in a warehouse off Greenwell Springs Road. An East Baton Rouge Parish grand jury has returned a 56-count indictment against five men. The District Attorney has said publicly that the evidence is substantial, that anyone who sees it will be angry, and that this young man died because of what was done to him. That is the criminal case. It matters. It matters a great deal. But it is not the case that pays your family for what was taken. That is a separate case — a civil case — and it is running on a clock that is shorter than most families in your position ever realize. Louisiana gives you one year. We are going to walk you through every layer of what that means, who can be held responsible beyond the five indicted men, what evidence is already disappearing, what the medicine says about the minutes that were lost, and…

The phone call from the coach was bad enough. The silence from the administration was worse.

Alabama School Hazing & Sexual Assault Lawyer — When a School Fails Your Child at Football Camp You are reading this because your child went to football camp with a school you trusted, and something happened in an Alabama hotel room that no child should ever survive. Maybe you found out from your child directly. Maybe you found out because someone showed you a video that was circulating on social media. Maybe you are still trying to understand how a school-sponsored trip turned into the worst night of your family’s life. We want you to hear this first, clearly, before anything else: what happened to your child was not their fault. It was not a prank. It was not “boys being boys.” It was not hazing that “went too far.” It was a criminal sexual assault and a hazing violation, and the law treats it with the utmost seriousness. The school that transported your child across state lines and put them in that hotel room owed them a duty of supervision that did not disappear when they crossed into Alabama. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC — and we handle school hazing and sexual assault cases in…

Flagstaff, Arizona: An 18-Year-Old Is Gone After a Fraternity Rush Event — What the Family Needs to Know Now Your son went to a rush event on a Friday night at a fraternity house near Pine Knoll Drive and Lone Tree Road, just south of the Northern Arizona University campus. By Saturday morning, someone at that house was performing CPR. By the time Flagstaff police arrived just before 9 a.m., he was not breathing. First responders could not bring him back. He was 18 years old. We are not going to pretend we know what this feels like from the inside. We do know what happens next — because we have spent years inside the machinery that follows a death like this, including the active hazing litigation we are currently pursuing against a university and a fraternity in Texas. We know what the fraternity’s insurance company is already doing. We know what evidence is already disappearing. And we know that the choices a family makes in the first weeks after a hazing death can be the difference between accountability and silence.

An 18-year-old Northern Arizona University student — someone’s child, someone’s friend, a young person with a full life ahead of him — was found unresponsive at a house on South Pinegrove Road on the morning of January 31, 2026, and was pronounced dead at the scene despite the efforts of police and paramedics. He had attended a rush event the night before for the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. Alcohol was consumed. Three fraternity executive board members were arrested on suspicion of criminal hazing.
