A Haverhill man with “multiple” prior felony convictions, including manslaughter after the 2010 shooting death of a 14-year-old boy in Jamaica Plain, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to gun and drug charges stemming from a 2021 traffic stop in West Bridgewater, the U.S. Attorney’s office said.
Ramon Silvelo-Miles, 34, pleaded guilty in federal court in Boston to one count of possession with intent to distribute cocaine and fentanyl, and one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
U.S. District Court Judge Dennis F. Saylor IV scheduled sentencing for May 9. Silvelo-Miles was charged by criminal complaint in January 2022.
In 2014, Silvelo-Miles, then 24, was among two men sentenced for their roles in the fatal shooting death of Jaewon Martin, 14, on a Bromley-Heath basketball court in Jamaica Plain on May 8, 2010, the district attorney’s office said at the time . A 16-year-old boy was also wounded in the attack.
