No Bail For Stoughton Teen Accused Of Murder

BOSTON, MA — A Stoughton teen was one of two accused murderers held on no bail Monday.

Jerion Moore, 19, of Stoughton and Nicholas Sicellon, 18, of Dorchester, were arraigned Monday in Roxbury Municipal Court on a charge of murder. Both men are accused of killing 22-year-old Alexander Mervin.

On the afternoon of Jan. 11, a nearby police officer on foot on Whittier Street in Roxbury heard the sound of gunfire. After running to towards the sound, he found Mervin suffering from a gun wound in a Whittier Street parking lot. He was taken to the hospital, where he died.

Ballistic evidence and witness statements indicate that two assailants opened fire on Mervin and video from an MBTA public safety camera captured Moore and Sicellon as they left the scene and entered the Shawmut Avenue home of Moore's relative, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney's office.

The two men were identified through records linking Moore to the address the men entered and through the credit card and telephone number on record with Uber, Assistant District Attorney David Bradley said in court.

Prior to the murder charge, both men were arrested on unrelated weapon charges. Sicellon has remained held on $15,000 bail since his arrest and Moore was released and ordered to wear a GPS monitor after a judge reduced the $5,000 bail imposed at arraignment to $2,500 in February.

Both men are due back in court June 4.
