@mcfiles88: A retired NYPD detective accused in a deadly George Washington Bridge road-rage case is now facing a more serious charge. A Manhattan grand jury indicted Victor Romero, 62, on second-degree M*rder on Tuesday. Romero had previously been arraigned on first-degree manslaughter and released on $1 million bail. The case involves the October 20 D*eath of Koran Irvine, 46, a Con Edison mechanic and father of two. Prosecutors say the two drivers nearly collided while changing lanes as they approached the bridge. Authorities allege surveillance video then shows Romero following Irvine closely before pulling alongside his car. Prosecutors say Romero fired a Gn through Irvine’s rear passenger-side window, Shtting him in the back. Irvine’s vehicle later came to a stop, and he was taken to a hospital, where he D*ed. Authorities allege Romero continued driving and did not call 911. Investigators later located him at his Manhattan workplace. The original manslaughter charge had drawn criticism from Irvine’s family and coworkers, who questioned why Romero was allowed to remain free on bail. Dozens of Con Edison workers gathered outside the courthouse Tuesday as Romero appeared before a judge. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said the upgraded charge followed an extensive investigation. Romero has not been convicted. He is expected to be arraigned on the new indictment on November 23.
