PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Prosecutors have dropped charges against one of two men accused in the killing of his elderly former neighbor in Rhode Island.
A spokeswoman for state Attorney General Peter Neronha said Monday Tyler Grenon is no longer facing charges of murder and conspiracy for the death of Constance Gauthier.
The spokeswoman did not say why the charges were dropped. Grenon’s attorney previously said there was no physical evidence connecting his client to the crime.
