On Friday, a New York state grand jury indicted TV star Isaiah Stokes for murder. In February, Isaiah Stokes is accused of killing a man who was sitting in a parked vehicle in Jamaica, Queens. “The defendant is accused of unloading nearly eleven shots during this brazen afternoon shooting,” Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a press release. “Gun violence is all too prevalent in our neighborhoods. We will not allow it to become the norm.”
Stokes was arraigned on a three-count indictment before Supreme Court Justice Kenneth Holder, who pled him to second-degree murder and two counts of criminal weapon possession in the second degree. His sentencing is scheduled for July 19, and he will receive a maximum of 25 years in prison. Stokes’ representatives didn’t return requests for comment.

His father is from Queens and his mother from Rochdale Village in South Jamaica, where he went to school and studied.
