Seven men, including four who are at-large, were indicted on murder charges in connection with the fatal shooting of a man in the parking area of a Quincy apartment building in August, the Norfolk district attorney’s office said Thursday.

Walter Batista, 25 of Boston, Clayton Rodrigues, 27 of Abington and Dorchester, and Cornel Bell, Jr., were indicted by a Norfolk County grand jury Tuesday, the Norfolk district attorney’s office said in a statement.

Clarke, Miranda, Batista, and Rodrigues are still at large, prosecutors said. All seven men are also facing other charges including armed home invasion, masked armed robbery, and kidnapping with intent to extort, the statement said.

Their arraignments have not been scheduled, prosecutors said.

Officers responded to 5 Crown Drive at 12:40 a.m. on Aug. 18, where they found Jordan Wiggins, 32 of Quincy, suffering gunshot wounds in the building’s stairwell leading from the parking area, the Globe reported. Wiggins, who was a resident of the building, was taken to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead.
