Ryan Greenberg (left), the 17-year-old Barrington High School student, was charged of second-degree murder on Monday (Dec 3) in connection with the July 17 boating death of fellow student Patrick Murphy (below) on the Barrington River.
Greenberg, now a senior at Hope High School in Providence but previously Murphy’s classmate, has been charged earlier with one felony count of 
operating a boat to endanger, death resulting; one misdemeanor count of underage possession of alcohol; and one misdemeanor count of refusing to take a breath test after he was pulled off the Barrington River and failed a field sobriety test.
The grand jury affirmed those earlier charges as well.
Greenberg will be arraigned on the new charge and rearraigned on the previous ones Jan. 2 in Superior Court, Providence. He remains free on $10,000 personal recognizance.
