"Mervin, a 22-year-old Revere resident, was cleaning out his car in a parking lot on Roxbury's Whittier Street in January of 2018 when Moore and Sicellon shot him, according to the office of Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden. Mervin ran across the street to Boston Police Headquarters, then was brought to Boston Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, prosecutors said. He was shot multiple times, Hayden's office said, and ballistic evidence indicated that two guns were used."
"Mervin left behind a young daughter, two brothers to whom he was "devoted," and a niece who never got to meet him, his mother said in her statement. "His little girl will grow up without ever knowing the warmth of her father's hugs, without hearing him say 'I love you,'" she wrote. "The ripple effect of this loss reached every part of our family. The people who did this took more than a life - they took our family's future.""
Two men, Jerion Moore and Nicholas Sicellon, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and carrying a firearm without a license in the January 2018 killing of 22-year-old Alexander Mervin. Mervin was shot multiple times while cleaning out his car on Roxbury's Whittier Street, ran to Boston Police Headquarters, and was pronounced dead at Boston Medical Center. Ballistic evidence indicated two guns were used, and surveillance and cell phone evidence placed the defendants nearby. Mervin left a young daughter, two brothers, and a niece. Two prior trials had ended with hung juries before the guilty pleas.
