Woman indicted for killing man in Providence bar

PROVIDENCE -- A Boston woman was indicted today, accused of the stabbing murder of David De La Rosa-Ruiz in the Comfort Zone sports bar last year.

Penny Juan, 36, of 66 Highland Ave., is being held without bail at the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston and will be arraigned in Providence County Superior Court on June 13.

The police arrested Juan in January, charging her with one count of murder, and said at the time that they learned of the slaying when they were called to the Comfort Zone, located on Public Street in the Elmwood section, around 1 a.m. on Oct. 13, 2006.

The police said they found De La Rosa, 27, of 99 Ford St. in the city's West End, dead in the street. He had been stabbed in a barroom brawl, according to the police.

The city's Board of Licenses revoked the Comfort Zone's liquor license because of the incident.
