A Suffolk Superior Court jury yesterday convicted Ramon Rodriguez-Delgado, 48, for stabbing Marcelino Perez, 77, to death in 2018 in the Franklin Hill development in Dorchester, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.
Rodriguez-Delgado will be formally sentenced on Monday, but the verdict carries a mandatory sentence of life without parole - subject to a hearing by the Supreme Judicial Court.
According to the DA's office:
Rodriguez-Delgado lived in a building across the courtyard from Perez's Shandon Road apartment building and had previously observed an individual arrive at Perez’ apartment in order to deliver prize money from a private lottery in which Perez was involved.
The investigation revealed that on July 26, 2018, Rodriguez-Delgado observed Perez and the male with the money enter 99 Shandon Road together just before 2 p.m. Video surveillance shows that the man who dropped off the money left the apartment just after 2 p.m. and that Rodriguez-Delgado entered and exited 99 Shandon Road three times, each time wearing different clothing. Perez was later found in his apartment with multiple stab wounds.
