A Boston man has been sentenced to nearly four years in prison for illegal firearm possession. Kyvon Ross, 26, received a 46-month prison sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Patti B. Saris, followed by three years of supervised release. In April 2025, Ross pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
The incident occurred on October 3, 2024, when law enforcement approached Ross for driving a moped at high speed without a rear license plate. During the encounter, Ross accelerated towards an officer but lost control and fell. He was found with a loaded Glock handgun with an obliterated serial number.
Ross is prohibited from possessing firearms due to previous felony convictions, including a 2021 federal conviction for similar charges.
United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and Ted E. Docks of the FBI’s Boston Field Division announced the sentencing. The Boston Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives assisted in the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney William F. Abely prosecuted the case.
