TV actor Isaiah Stokes has been indicted for the February murder of Tyrone Jones, the Queens District Attorney's Office announced Friday.
Stokes, 41, was arraigned Friday morning on a three-count indictment charging him with murder in the second degree and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, according to a press release.
Stokes' next court date is set for July 19. If convicted of the charges against him, he faces up to 25 years-to-life in prison.
"The defendant is accused of unloading nearly eleven shots during this brazen afternoon shooting," District Attorney Melinda Katz said in the release. "Gun violence is all too prevalent in our neighborhoods. We will not allow it to become the norm."
A representative for Stokes did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
The alleged incident took place on February 7 around 2:45 p.m. local time. According to the DA's office, video surveillance footage showed Stokes exiting a car parked at an intersection in Queens, New York, and approaching the driver's side window.
He then allegedly fired eleven gunshots into the car, hitting Jones, 37. The Queens Village resident was later pronounced dead by paramedics.

“Actors, is there anything they can’t do?”
~ Homer Simpson
He was only on one episode of L&A season 10, that is it, he only has 12 acting credits total. He is like a D actor. Who cares !
Hi.
Why didn’t he just hire Clemeza or Barzini to do the hit.
Methinks it was personal, not business.

Genius!
His method of unloading a firearm needs work.
Nah, didn’t take his call and he decided to keep calling Luca Brasi.
I feel really bad for the basketball player who has the same name.
Good perspective. His real career was likely being a drug-dealer and thug.
My bad. I should have pinged you.

I liked Boardwalk Empire. Watched it when it was first on air, and have binged it again during covid lockdown. I looked up his photo and do not recognize him. Must’ve been a smallish part. I haven’t watched commercial television, other than the news, in many years. And since November, I don’t even watch the news anymore.
He had a bit part, never any kind of major actor, bit player at best.
So this happens in February and they are just now arresting him?
Am I to assume this Isaiah fellow is a “person of color”?
“So this happens in February and they are just now arresting him?”
This happened in NYC and the arrested him!

1 episode early in the Boardwalk series per IMDB
Is this another one of the “No Bail” events?
