"On Friday, Providence Police identified the man as Romy Alfonso, saying additional information will be released pending his autopsy results. At around 7:23 p.m. on Monday, patrol officers responded to the area of 249 Manton Ave. for a report of an assault, according to a statement from the Providence Police.

After conducting an investigation, officers located three juveniles on Tuesday and took them into custody in the Manton Avenue area following a separate disturbance. During interviews with the children's guardians present, all three admitted to involvement in the earlier assault, police said."
