Essex County Man Sentenced To 85 Months In Prison For Illegally Possessing Firearms And Ammunition

An Essex County, New Jersey, man with a previous felony conviction was indicted for illegally possessing firearms and ammunition.

Ramad Moultrie, 23, of Newark, previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Brian R. Martinotti in Newark federal court to an Indictment charging him with two counts of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon.

According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:

On Aug. 2, 2021, members of the Newark Police Department responded to a shooting at the Grace West Manor Complex on Irvine Turner Boulevard, where they located two victims with gunshot wounds. Surveillance video recorded Moultrie waving members of a crowd, including small children, out of his way before firing a gun towards the two victims. Three .45 auto caliber casings were recovered from the area where Moultrie discharged the firearm. A .45 caliber handgun, a 9 mm handgun, ammunition, and drugs were recovered when Moultrie was arrested at his residence.

In addition to the prison term, Judge Martinotti sentenced Moultrie to three years of supervised release.

U.S. Attorney John Giordano credited special deputies of the U.S. Marshals Service, under the direction of Marshal Juan Mattos Jr.; and officers of the Newark Police Department, under the direction of Director Emanuel Miranda, with the investigation leading to today’s sentencing.

The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Specht of the Special Prosecutions Division.
