Suffolk County prosecutors charged today Jaewon Martin was gunned down in May by members of a gang out to attack another gang known to hang out in the same area as the 14-year-old.

The allegations came at the arraignment of Ramon Silvelo-Miles on charges of murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and unlawfully carrying a loaded firearm. Timothy Hearns had earlier been charged with pulling the trigger and ending Martin's life. Silvelo-Miles was ordered held without bail.

Assistant District Attorney Edward Krippendorf said Silvelo-Miles drove one of two cars loaded with gang members out to shoot members of another gang known to hang out in the Heath Street area. According to a statement from the DA's office:
