The charges are in connection with the fatal shooting of Michael Parks, of Fitchburg.

Police in Fitchburg were called to a reported shooting at a Marshall Street home the night of July 28, where they found Parks; he was pronounced dead at a local hospital, authorities said.

An investigation by authorities, including state and location police, led to the arrest of Martin and Collins.

They were held without bail during their initial arraignment in Fitchburg District Court on Aug. 4.

These latest indictments move the case to Worcester Superior Court.

The two suspects will have another arraignment in superior court at a later point.
