PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - A Rhode Island man who is facing a murder charge has been indicted in another killing involving a homeless man.

The Providence Journal reports (https://bit.ly/2rgL584 ) that a grand jury indicted 27-year-old Pablo Mendoza, of Providence, in the 2014 beating death of 45-year-old Luis Belmont.

Authorities say Belmont succumbed to serious injuries suffered in an assault.

Mendoza remains jailed in the killing of 44-year-old Harold Northup. The 27-year-old man pleaded not guilty in the case.

It’s unclear whether Mendoza is represented by an attorney who could comment on his behalf.
