Sources with knowledge of the investigation into Southern University Caleb Wilson’s death told the WAFB I-TEAM Tuesday, the story that was initially told to police about Wilson collapsing at a Baton Rouge BREC park was fabricated.
Sources said pledges with Omega Psi Phi were actually at a warehouse in Baton Rouge when Wilson was punched in the chest and collapsed. He was later pronounced dead by doctors at an area hospital.
There were nine pledges in a line during an unsanctioned fraternity ritual and each one was allegedly forced to take blows to the chest, the sources said. When Wilson was hit, sources with knowledge of the events said he reportedly collapsed to the ground and began having a seizure at the warehouse.
