(CNN) -- [Breaking news update posted at 4:39 p.m. ET]
A grand jury has indicted Officer Randall Kerrick of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department on a charge of voluntary manslaughter in the September 14 shooting death of Jonathan Ferrell, according to a statement from state Attorney General Roy Cooper.
The grand jury heard evidence from both the state Bureau of Investigation and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, the statement said.

A Charlotte, North Carolina, police officer faces the second grand jury proceeding in a week for the fatal shooting of an ex-college football player who was reportedly seeking assistance after a car accident.
Attorneys for Officer Randall Kerrick have denounced the prosecution's move to resubmit the case to another grand jury as unlawful and filed a motion to block it, but CNN affiliate News 14 Carolina reported the grand jury convened Monday morning.
A grand jury last week declined to indict Kerrick, who faces a charge of voluntary manslaughter in the September death of Jonathan Ferrell, but prosecutors said afterward the grand jury was composed of less than a full panel and vowed to send the case back.
According to a handwritten statement filed with the court, the grand jury requested that the prosecutor submit a "bill of indictment to a lesser-included or related offense," but state Attorney General Roy Cooper said he would resubmit the voluntary manslaughter charge.
"It would be in the best interest of justice to resubmit this case to a full grand jury, which we plan to do as soon as possible," Cooper said in a statement.
Chris Chestnut, an attorney for Ferrell's family, described relatives as "shocked and devastated" by the first grand jury's ruling and said they were concerned a "miscarriage of justice is imminent."
