Prosecutors plan to upgrade the charges in connection with a fatal fight in Monument Square early Sunday morning to manslaughter.
William Googins, 20, of Gray, is charged with punching Eric Benson, 24, of Westbrook one time in the head. Benson fell to the ground and was unconscious. He was later declared dead at Maine Medical Center.
Googins turned himself in on Monday and was charged with aggravated assault.
Deputy Attorney General William Stokes said today that the charge will be upgraded to manslaughter when Googins has his initial appearance in Cumberland County Superior Court at 1 p.m. today.
