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.

Thanks. I actually suspected he was either one of Chalky White’s crew, or one of the kitchen staff that went on strike at the Ritz Hotel.
that's "performed" unless, of course the charges are dropped for this member of the protected class.
Heh.
