Isaiah Stokes, known best for his roles on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “Power” and “Blue Bloods,” has been indicted by a grand jury for murder.
The 41-year-old actor was charged with murder in the second degree and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree for the fatal shooting of a Queens Village man in February 2021, according to a press release from Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz.
DA Katz said, “The defendant is accused of unloading nearly eleven shots during this brazen afternoon shooting. Gun violence is all too prevalent in our neighborhoods. We will not allow it to become the norm.”
