A 9-year-old investigation into the shooting death of a Gray man and wounding of two others in downtown Portland led to the arrest and indictment of two suspects this month, police said Thursday.

Zachary T. Phach, 31, and Khang Tran, 27, were indicted April 9 by a Cumberland County grand jury in the slaying of Matt Blanchard, 24, and wounding of two of his brothers as they walked near Congress and India streets on July 11, 2012, Portland police said in a news release.
Phach and Tran are charged with murder, aggravated attempted murder, elevated aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy.
Portland police said in 2012 that the attack appeared to be random, but investigators now believe Tran and Phach had targeted the four men, Portland police said in the release.
