“The defendant is accused of unloading nearly eleven shots during this brazen afternoon shooting,” Katz shared in a press release about the shooting in Jamaica, Queens, in February 2021. “Gun violence is all too prevalent in our neighborhoods. We will not allow it to become the norm.”
The DA’s press release noted that surveillance footage reportedly showed the actor exiting a vehicle and approaching Jones’ driver’s side window and opening fire multiple times.
Stokes, who lives in Jamaica, is also known for his work on such hit shows as “Power” and “Blue Bloods,” Vanity Fair reported.
If convicted, the actor could face up to 25 years to life in prison, the outlet noted.
