"We've studied the video [of the attack], and we think seven of the eight suspects will be facing murder charges," said Providence Police Major David Lapatin.

The seventh arrest comes one day after the Providence Board of Licenses voted Wednesday to keep the Federal Hill nightclub Seven closed for another week, as GoLocalProv reported.
The meeting marked the second show-cause hearing for Club Seven, after police said last week that they needed to file a warrant to obtain the club footage to see if the altercation began in the establishment.
Club lawyer Nick Hemond says that while the footage shows beverage and license violations, it did not show any evidence that the fight between Cabral and his attackers started in the club — and which he says does not warrant permanent closure.
The City of Providence requested for revocation of the club’s license on Wednesday, but the Board of Licenses only kept the club closed under emergency powers until a meeting next week, said Hemond.
