A Baltimore grand jury has indicted all six police officers charged in the April death of Freddie Gray, the city's top prosecutor announced Thursday.

The officers, who remain free on bail, will be arraigned July 2, Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby said at a news conference. She did not take questions.

Gray, 25, died April 19 in the hospital, one week after he suffered a severe spinal injury during his arrest on a city street or immediately after as he was driven in a police van. He was handcuffed, face down, in the wagon and not secured while being transported, Mosby said. His death triggered several days of protests and some violence, which resulted in a citywide curfew. Dozens of people were arrested and several police officers were injured.

The charges are nearly identical to those she announced three weeks ago, including the most serious — second-degree depraved-heart murder against the van driver, Officer Caesar Goodson Jr.

Mosby said that "additional information has been discovered," resulting in some revision of the initial charges. The grand jury added counts of reckless-endangerment against some officers and dropped false imprisonment and assault against others.
