The Louisiana man accused of killing former USC and NFL running back Joe McKnight during a road rage dispute was indicted Thursday on a charge that carries a mandatory life sentence.
A grand jury charged Ronald Gasser, 55, of Terrytown, with second-degree murder, Jefferson Parish District Atty. Paul Connick Jr. said in a news release. The charge can be brought against someone who means “to kill or to inflict great bodily harm.”
As a result of the indictment, Judge June Darensburg increased Gasser's bond from $500,000 to $750,000, Connick said in the news release.
Connick said he would have no further comment on the indictment.
