A superseding indictment is handed down against a third defendant in the murder of Ryan Chaco. 

A grand jury handed down a true bill late this afternoon. 

Joseph Ehder is indicted on charges of complicity to commit aggravated murder, complicity to commit murder, complicity to commit arson, complicity to commit obstruct government function, and complicity to commit destruction of evidence. 

The new indictment comes ahead of trial for co-actors Eithen Mendiola and Frank Reyes Jr.

Mendiola allegedly told police the victim made unwanted sexual advances toward him before the pair started to fight. 

Mendiola allegedly admitted to stabbing Chaco repeatedly in the neck and chest, claiming it was self defense.
