WARREN, R.I. (WLNE)- Warren Police have confirmed that a teen has been arrested for a homicide involving an aluminum bat over the summer.

The juvenile is being charged with murder in the death of 54-year-old Richard Raymond, after allegedly being struck in the head with a bat in August.

Police responded to the intersection of Market Street and Sanders Street in Warren for report of a disturbance between two males possibly involving a knife.
