DA: Dorchester man indicted for murder of 19-year-old in Roxbury last summer
A Dorchester man has been indicted for shooting 19-year-old Tywon Meek near a Roxbury playground last July.
“To call the violent death of a 19-year-old a tragedy is somehow insufficient to the horror and loss that the reality entails,” Suffolk DA Kevin Hayden said in a statement. “There is no closure or finality to the grief and anguish being felt by Tywon’s family and friends. There are only memories of his far-too-short life and the pursuit of justice for his far-too-early death.”
A Suffolk County Grand Jury on Wednesday indicted Anthony Ramos, 28, of Dorchester, for Meek’s murder. Ramos, who was arrested on a related firearms charge last week and is in custody, will be arraigned in Suffolk Superior Court at a later date on charges of first-degree murder, possession of a firearm, possession of ammunition and carrying a loaded firearm.
Boston Police responded to 5 Leyland St. a little before midnight on July 6. There, Meek was pronounced dead after having suffered multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Suffolk DA statement.
