WARWICK, R.I. (AP) – A state grand jury has indicted a Providence man in the death of a woman from a heroin overdose on New Year’s Day this year.

Jose Torres, 46, stands accused of supplying the heroin that killed Lisa Lovenberry, of West Warwick. Her husband, Gregory, bought the heroin for the couple while they were living together on Cowesett Avenue, according to police. Investigators said they used the drug together. Lisa Lovenberry, 34, died that morning.

Gregory Lovenberry pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter earlier this month. He had been charged with murder. But the victim’s family had argued he shouldn’t face such a harsh charge.

Torres was charged Friday with one count of murder, one count of delivering heroin and one count of having the drug with the intent to deliver it.

He faces a life sentence. State law considers the felony manufacture, sale, delivery or other distribution of a controlled substance to be first-degree murder.
