(Atlanta-AP) -- Murder indictments were filed today by a Fulton County grand jury against Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis and two of his friends. Prosecutor Paul Howard Junior says the six-count indictment against Lewis, Reginald Oakley of Baltimore and Joseph Sweeting of Miami, include two counts of malice murder, two felony murder counts and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The 24-year-old Lewis remains in the Atlanta Detention Center on murder charges in the deaths of Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker. The stabbings occurred during a post-Super Bowl brawl. A bond hearing is still scheduled for Lewis Monday.

Meanwhile, the F-B-I continues to look for Oakley and Sweeting. Atlanta police say the men were the actual killers, and contend Lewis had lied to protect them. A murder conviction in Georgia brings a sentence either of life in prison or the death penalty.
