Follow-Up: Three More Defendants Sentenced in Case Tied to Murder of Puerto Rico Police Sergeant Ramos Vélez
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Puerto Rico announced on October 23 that three more defendants were sentenced in San Juan in the federal case related to the murder of Puerto Rico Police Sergeant Eliezer Ramos Vélez. U.S. District Judge María Antongiorgi-Jordán imposed the sentences, Acting U.S. Attorney Héctor Ramírez-Carbó announced the results, and the FBI investigated the case.
Olvin O'Neill Concepción-Tapia, known as “Sinfo,” was sentenced to 480 months (40 years) in prison followed by 10 years of supervised release. Daniel J. López-Vega, known as “Dany,” received the same 480 months (40 years) plus 10 years of supervised release. Andyel González-Sáez, known as “Martino,” was sentenced to 336 months (28 years) plus 10 years of supervised release. A fourth defendant, Luis N. Isaac-Sánchez, known as “Chimbo,” “CDobleta” and “Dobleta,” was rescheduled for sentencing on Thursday, October 29, 2026.
As GSM reported on October 20, co-defendant Victor J. Pérez-Fernández had already been sentenced to a total of 540 months (45 years) in federal prison in the same case, and that announcement had set October 23 for this round of sentencings.
According to the Justice Department, all defendants accepted responsibility for participating in a drug trafficking conspiracy that distributed and possessed with intent to distribute heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine, marijuana and other drugs in and around the Sabana Abajo, Luis Llorens Torres, Los Mirtos, Lagos de Blasina, La Esmeralda, El Coral and Jardines de Monte Hatillo public housing projects, and pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking. All defendants admitted to their participation in the murder of Sergeant Ramos-Vélez, and all plea agreements include a provision that the murder sentencing guideline, U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Section 2A1.1, applies to their cases.
The case is being prosecuted by Gang Section Chief Alberto López-Rocafort, Deputy Chief Teresa Zapata-Valladares, and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Laura Díaz-González and Joseph Russell. The prosecution is part of the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) initiative established by Executive Order 14159, a whole-of-government partnership against cartels, transnational criminal organizations and human smuggling networks; HSTF San Juan includes the FBI, ICE Homeland Security Investigations, Customs and Border Protection, the Drug Enforcement Administration and state and local partners including the Puerto Rico Police Department.
