A Boston man has been sentenced to nearly four years in prison for a federal firearm offense. Kyvon Ross, 26, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Patti B. Saris to 46 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release.
The sentencing comes after Ross pleaded guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition in April 2025. The charges stem from an incident on Oct. 3, 2024, when Ross was approached by law enforcement after driving a moped at a high speed and without a rear license plate.
According to authorities, Ross accelerated directly at one of the officers before losing control of the moped and falling to the ground. Upon searching Ross, officers found a loaded Glock handgun with an obliterated serial number. Ross is prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition due to multiple prior felony convictions, including a 2021 federal conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
The investigation was led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Field Division, with valuable assistance from the Boston Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives. United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and Ted E. Docks, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Field Division, made the announcement today.
Assistant U.S. Attorney William F. Abely, Chief of the Criminal Division, prosecuted the case. The sentencing of Kyvon Ross serves as a reminder of the serious consequences of illegally possessing firearms and ammunition. With a history of prior felony convictions, Ross will now face significant time behind bars for his latest offense.
The case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat firearm offenses in the Boston area. As part of the sentencing, Ross will be required to serve three years of supervised release following his 46-month prison term. The supervised release will provide an additional layer of oversight to ensure Ross does not engage in further criminal activity upon his release from prison.
In a statement, United States Attorney Leah B. Foley praised the work of law enforcement in bringing Ross to justice. The sentencing of Kyvon Ross is a testament to the dedication of our law enforcement partners in keeping our communities safe from individuals who pose a threat to public safety.
