Isaiah Stokes, a 45-year-old actor from Rego Park, was sentenced to 25 years to life for murdering Tyrone Jones during a calculated ambush in February 2021. The violence stemmed from an altercation at Jones' birthday party months earlier, where Stokes' inappropriate conduct led to his ejection from the event. Following the incident, Stokes tracked Jones down using a GPS device, waiting for the right moment to attack. He ultimately opened fire on Jones as he sat in his Jeep, leading to a fatal shooting and Stokes' subsequent conviction for second-degree murder.
"Isaiah Stokes, embarrassed and upset that he was thrown out of a birthday party in October 2020, sought revenge against Tyrone Jones after a prior altercation."
"Stokes placed a GPS tracking device on Jones' vehicle to track him before carrying out the ambush, showing premeditation in his actions."
