WORCESTER, MA — It's a beautiful end to the work week in the region with sun and temperatures at or above the 60-degree mark. Enjoy it tonight — temperatures will be back down in the low 40s by the end of the weekend.

On Friday, two Worcester residents were indicted on murder charges in the Aug. 3 killing of a Boston man in Worcester's Piedmont neighborhood.

Jacob Grice, 35, who had previously been charged with assault and battery in the shooting death of Darren Dyette, 31, had his charge upgraded to murder. Amber Gravel, 27, was also indicted on a murder charge. Prosecutors say she drove Grice to the scene of the King Street shooting. A judge did not grant her release on bail.
