The Boston Police Department reports arresting a teenager on murder charges for the June 28 death of Edwin Diaz-Geraldo, 20, of Brighton, who was shot and then crashed into a house at 24 Fifield St.
A passenger in Diaz-Geraldo's car suffered a broken leg in the crash, police say.
Police did not identify the 16-year-old because of his age. However, court records show Jeremiah Carlos Ramos was arraigned Tuesday in Dorchester Municipal Court on charges of murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of a loaded firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition.
Judge Jonathan Tynes ordered the teen held without bail at the Suffolk County jail. He is scheduled for a probable-cause hearing on Dec. 23.
Police requested and got an arrest warrant for Ramos on Monday.
Police say fugitive-unit officers spotted and arrested him Tuesday on Homer Street in East Boston - where they added additional charges for the loaded gun they say he was carrying: Delinquent for unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of a loaded firearm and unlawful possession of a high-capacity firearm.
He is at least the second teenager charged with a Dorchester murder this year. A 17-year-old was charged in September with murder for his role in man's death during a home invasion on Trent Street.
