PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The trial has started for two men charged in the 2014 slaying of a man in Providence.
The Providence Journal (https://bit.ly/2dTAXyU ) reports that Bruce Moten and Antonio Fortes are on trial this week on charges alleging they plotted the shooting that killed 22-year-old Terry Robinson and injured another man as part of an ongoing feud between gangs.
Prosecutors say 27-year-old Moten and another man fired on Robinson and other gang rivals in October 2014. Robinson was declared dead at the scene.
