A Mahoning County grand jury indicted a 23-year-old man on a murder charge. Christian A. Ortiz Jordan fled to Puerto Rico only to give himself up shortly after he arrived in the Caribbean nation.

The grand jury also indicted Ortiz Jordan on two counts of felonious assault with firearms specifications and illegal possession of a firearm in a liquor permit premises.

He is charged in the death of Bobby Robert Gonzalez Torres, 30, early Dec. 30 inside the Sons of Borinquen club, 720 Williamson Ave.

Police said Torres was killed after an argument earlier in the evening among a group of women.

Besides Torres, a man and a woman were also wounded.

Police were able to identify Ortiz Jordan through the South Side club’s security system.

Marshals were searching for him two days later at a Greeley Avenue home on the East Side, but Ortiz Jordan flew to Puerto Rico shortly after the shooting.
