A Providence man was indicted on a murder charge today in the shooting death of Aneuris Caceres, 21, of Providence last May. A Providence County grand jury handed up the indictment naming Kelvyn Ramirez, 27, of 497 Potters Ave., on one count of murder and one count of using a firearm while committing a crime of violence. Providence police have alleged that Ramirez, a convicted drug dealer, shot Caceres multiple times. Police said the shooting followed an argument outside a tenement in South Providence. Caceres' body was found behind the building. A May 7 arraignment is scheduled in Providence County Superior Court. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P. McKinney, with Journal archival reports Ramirez was caught in August during a routine traffic infraction stop in Dillon, S.C. Police said last year that Ramirez was a passenger in a southbound Lincoln Navigator sport-utility vehicle bearing temporary Rhode Island license plates, and a deputy sheriff stopped the SUV for following a car too closely on an interstate highway. The deputy sheriff, according to a report by the Dillon County Sheriff's Office, found the driver was not carrying a driver's license or car registration. Driver and passenger were said to be unclear about one another's names and contradicted each other when asked questions. Eventually, deputies said they determined both men lied about who they were. Deputies also said that, using a drug-sniffing dog, they found marijuana inside the SUV.
