The Providence County Grand Jury reported out an indictment charging Luis "Didi" Gonzalez with murder, and other charges, for the June 15, 2013 shooting in Providence that left 12-year old Aynis Vargas dead and injured three others.

The grand jury indicted Gonzalez on one count of murder, two counts of conspiracy, three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, and four counts of discharging a firearm while committing a crime of violence. Gonzalez, who was a juvenile at the time of the shooting, was waived out of Family Court to be tried as an adult.

The following day, September 27th, Ricardo Vasquez, age 21, pleaded guilty before Superior Court Justice Robert D. Krause for his role in the shooting and was sentenced to life in prison.

All five are alleged to be members of the Harriet Street, or H-Block, gang. For clarification, Luis "Didi" Gonzalez is the younger brother of Luis "Fat Boy" Gonzalez.

Gonzalez is scheduled to be arraigned in Providence County Superior Court before Justice Robert D. Krause on Wednesday, November 6, 2013.
