PROVIDENCE — Three more people were charged in a shooting in Providence that injured nine people.

David Carides, 23, Daniel Carides, 26, and a 17-year-old were arrested by Providence police Saturday at 34 Dorchester Ave.

They’re charged in connection with the shooting on Carolina Avenue on May 13 that police described as the largest mass shooting in the city’s history. David Carides, who lives at the home on Carolina Avenue, was among those injured in the shooting.

Eight people suffered gunshot wounds and a ninth was hit by shattered glass when a group of men in a pickup truck drove up to the house and opened fire on a group of people on a porch. Two people on the porch returned fire, police have said. Authorities have described the shooting as a coordinated gang attack.
