A second man has been charged in connection with the murder of 21-year-old Justin Ortiz last month.

New Bedford Police arrested 21-year-old Justin Camacho of New Bedford on Friday, the Bristol County District Attorney's office confirmed. Bail was set at $3,000 and he was arraigned Tuesday.

In an email to WBSM News, Bristol County DA spokesman Gregg Miliote said Camacho is charged with the misleading portion of the witness intimidation statute, as part of the ongoing investigation into the Ortiz homicide.

Ortiz was shot in the head and found on Tallman Street on December 27. He died from his injuries on December 30.

Latin Kings gang member Joshua Lobo of New Bedford was arrested last week on similar charges in Ortiz's homicide, and is being held without bail.
