Three men connected with last November’s stabbing murder of a 26-year-old in Haverhill were indicted today by an Essex County grand jury.
Indicted were 20-year-old David Trongeau and 19-year-old Kaiden Henderson for murder and armed robbery and 24-year-old Devaughn Johnson for two counts of being an accessory after the fact. The indictments move the cases out of Haverhill District Court and into Essex County Superior Court where the men face more severe penalties if convicted of the crimes.
Trongeau was the first to be charged in the Nov. 21 murder of Jose F. Vasquez Jr. at a Marble Street home. He was arrested three days after the stabbing by the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section, Essex State Police Detective Unit and Haverhill Police. On Nov. 26, Johnson was charged with being an accessory and, on Dec. 2, Henderson was arrested at a Holiday Inn in Boston without incident.

Court records released this week detail how the undercover police officer posed as a 13-year-old girl to bust Plummer, who stands accused of trying to meet with someone he thought was a teenager for sex last year in a parking lot in Massachusetts.
