NEW: Sixth Suspect in Federal Hill Killing Arrested
According to Major David Lapatin, Antonio Fortes, 29, was arrested in Cranston on Wednesday morning.
“He was arrested his morning,” said Lapatin. “We were on him — we found him in Cranston. The State Fugitive Task Force was involved. They helped pinpoint his location.”
The arrest came ahead of the Providence Board of Licenses taking up the show cause hearing for club Seven on Federal Hill, where Cabral — and his assailants — were purportedly drinking prior to the altercation that led to his beating and stabbing by a Walgreen’s a block away.

Police had been waiting to review the interior video footage of the club from the night in question of June 29 into June 30, which they had to issue a warrant to obtain for the club’s password to the DVR.
Lapatin said that police are searchings still for at least two other suspects.
