WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) - Two men have been indicted on murder charges stemming from the fatal stabbing of a 31-year-old woman on a Worcester street last year.

The Telegram & Gazette (https://bit.ly/1VJ29h5 ) reports that a grand jury returned indictments charging 18-year-old Kevin Miranda and 26-year-old Pedro Solis with first-degree murder in the Dec. 2 death of Cherise Hill.

Miranda, who had been previously charged in the case, remains in custody without bail. Solis had not been charged in the case prior to the indictment and a warrant is currently out seeking his arrest.



A murder charge against 33-year-old Luis Melendez-Rivas was dropped. His lawyer says he was misidentified by a witness.

Surveillance video captured the attack by two masked assailants near a liquor store. Hill was stabbed 19 times.
