Teen Charged With Homicide In Soccer Ref Death

A Utah teen accused of punching a soccer referee who later died was charged Wednesday with homicide by assault, a count issued when an attack unintentionally causes death, according to The Associated Press. Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill also said he will seek to try the teen as an adult in the death of Ricardo Portillo, 46, who passed away after a week in a coma.
