PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – Three people charged in connection with the shooting death of a 19-year-old Massachusetts woman outside a Rhode Island nightclub in September were held without bail at their arraignments.

Marklyn Brown, of Cranston, Johnny Veng, of Providence, and Jimmy Castillo, of Providence all face murder and other changes in the death of Berta Pereira-Roldan, of Revere, Massachusetts. She was shot while celebrating her 19th birthday at a Providence club on Sept. 29.

Another woman, 38-year-old Crystal Peloquin, of North Providence, was also shot but survived.

Police do not think they were the intended targets.
