WORCESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - A man has been indicted on an involuntary manslaughter charge in connection with the fatal shooting of a 21-year-old woman in Worcester last December, officials said.
A Worcester County grand jury issued a single indictment against 37-year-old Djarflo Irving, of Worcester, on Tuesday, according to the Worcester District Attorney’s Office.
On Dec. 10, 2019 around 1:15 a.m., officers found Suheil Ortiz with a single gunshot wound to the chest in an apartment on Oread Street, the DA’s office said.
She was transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
It was alleged that Irving and the victim were part of a small group of friends drinking and socializing.
Irving was arrested the same day of the shooting and held without bail following his arraignment on a manslaughter charge in Worcester Central District Court.
The indictment moves the case to Worcester Superior Court.
