A Georgia grand jury indicted the man accused of killing 22-year-old student Laken Riley on 10 charges, including malice murder and kidnapping, according to an indictment filed Tuesday in Superior Court of Clarke County. The indictment formally charges Jose Antonio Ibarra in Riley's murder, which authorities described as a crime of opportunity.
' Ibarra is a Venezuelan citizen who entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 near El Paso, Texas, officials have said. He was living in an apartment less than a mile from the University of Georgia and had failed to appear in court over a prior shoplifting charge. Investigators identified Ibarra as a suspect using a photo from a surveillance camera because he was wearing a distinctive Adidas hat, The Associated Press reported citing a federal affidavit.
