According to the police, Owen Gray, 21, was stabbed multiple times by Joseph Carruolo, 19, as Gray and Kendrick K. King, 23, tried to rob Carruolo's house armed with knives. King fled the house with Carruolo in pursuit. The police later found marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and an undisclosed amount of cash in Carruolo's apartment. Gray, of Fair Street in Warwick, was taken to Rhode Island Hospital, where he was arraigned. He's been charged with first-degree robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony crime, and assault with a deadly weapon. He is being held without bail pending a re-arraignment in District Court Monday.
