Grand Jury indicts man in overdose death of local woman
(Warwick-AP) -- A state grand jury has indicted a Providence man in the death of a woman from a heroin overdose on New Year's Day this year.
The jury accuses Jose Torres of supplying the heroin that killed Lisa Lovenberry, of West Warwick.
Her husband, Gregory, bought the heroin for the couple while they were living together on Cowesett Avenue.
The thirty-four-year-old woman died that morning.
Gregory Lovenberry pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter earlier this month.
Torres has been charged with one count of murder, one count of delivering heroin and one count of having the drug with the intent to deliver it.
He faces a life sentence. State law considers the felony manufacture, sale, delivery or other distribution of a controlled substance to be first-degree murder.
