BROCKTON, Mass. — Two men were indicted on Friday for their alleged roles in the fatal shooting of a 22-year-old Brockton man in July 2024.

Miranda was arrested days later on July 29 at Logan Airport after allegedly trying to flee the country.
The DA’s office has not provided any additional information regarding the third suspect or the search for him.
