A man who formerly portrayed Osceola at Florida State University was killed in Panama City Beach this week after an argument over gumbo spices at a restaurant there.
Caleb Joshua Halley was stabbed at a seafood restaurant by his coworker 26-year-old Orlando Thompson, who has been arrested on charges of manslaughter by the Panama City Police Department.
According to police reports the two men were arguing over the amount of spice to put into Buddy's Seafood Market gumbo Tuesday where the two men worked.
Thompson armed himself with a wooden board and Halley with a small wooden knife.
Thompson then retreated and returned with a knife, slashing Halley, causing three lacerations across his torso.
Halley, who is from Calhoun County, served as Osceola at FSU from 2004 to 2007, died from his injuries Thursday.
