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.
The 25-year-old Gray 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.

Here's the breakdown of the grand jury's action:
• Goodson — In addition to murder, he was charged with manslaughter, second-degree assault, gross negligence vehicular manslaughter, criminal negligence and misconduct in office. One count of reckless endangerment was added.
• Lt. Brian W. Rice, the bike patrol officer who first chased Gray — Manslaughter, second-degree assault, two counts of misconduct in office and reckless endangerment. Second-degree assault and false imprisonment were dropped.
• Officer William Porter, who Mosby said asked Gray at one van stop if he needed medical attention — Manslaughter, second-degree assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment, a new charge.
• Sgt. Alicia D. White, one of three officers who found Gray unresponsive on the floor of the police wagon — Manslaughter, second-degree assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment, a new charge.
• Officer Garrett E. Miller, who chased Gray — Second-degree assault, two counts of misconduct in office and reckless endangerment. Charges of second-degree assault and false imprisonment charge were dropped.
• Officer Edward M. Nero was charged with second-degree assault, two counts of misconduct in office and reckless endangerment. Second-degree assault and false imprisonment charge were dropped.

Cops want charges or Baltimore prosecutor dropped
Two weeks ago, the six officers filed a motion to dismiss the charges or have Mosby step aside because of what lawyers called her "political and personal motivation."
Days earlier, Nero's attorney challenged Mosby's argument that Gray's arrest was illegal because a knife he was carrying was not banned under state law.
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch has ordered a separate federal investigation of Gray's death. She also pledged to support the city's embattled police department.
