The exact charges the rapper faces won’t be revealed until the indictment is filed at Glover’s court arraignment later this month (August 23), according to prosecutors.

The 57-year-old musician was arrested on August 2 after allegedly attacking 55-year-old John Jolly in Manhattan. Glover reportedly thought that the victim had been flirting with him. An emergency call was made by passers-by shortly before midnight on Tuesday – when offers arrived, they found Jolly had been inflicted with multiple stab wounds. He was pronounced dead upon arrival at hospital.

Glove is currently being held at Riker’s Island prison.
