The man who admitted to killing former NFL running back Joe McKnight has been indicted on a charge of second-degree murder.

A grand jury in Jefferson Parish, La., handed down the indictment on Thursday, per WDSU-TV in New Orleans.

Ronald Gasser Jr. was first arrested in December for manslaughter four days following the killing of McKnight in a road-rage incident.

McKnight, who was 28, played for the Jets and Chiefs and had played last season in the Canadian Football League.
