WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — A man accused of killing a Google employee who went out for a run near her mother's Massachusetts home last summer has been indicted.
Worcester (WUS'-tur) County District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. says a grand jury handed down the indictment Friday against Angelo Colon-Ortiz.
The Worcester resident was arrested in connection with the death of 27-year-old Vanessa Marcotte last August in Princeton, a small town 40 miles (64 kilometers) west of Boston.
Prosecutors say Colon-Ortiz was apprehended in April after his DNA matched samples on Marcotte's body, which was found in the woods not far from her family home.
Colon-Ortiz faces charges of aggravated assault and battery and assault with attempt to rape. He's been in custody since his arrest and will be arraigned later. His lawyer hasn't commented.
