Last Friday, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit alum Isaiah Stokes was convicted of the 2021 shooting death of Tyrone Jones, and he faces 25 years to life in prison at his upcoming March 21st sentencing.

The 45-year-old rapper-actor was found guilty of murder in the second degree and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree following a two-week jury trial, which began on February 13.

Isaiah – who’s being held at New York jail Rikers Island – was barely recognizable at a pre-trial hearing on July 24 since he’d lost so much weight.

‘This was a calculated murder. The defendant, a part-time actor, stewed for months after being thrown out of a birthday party for his own inappropriate behavior,’ Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz wrote Monday in a press release.

‘Intent on revenge, Isaiah Stokes placed a GPS on the victim’s car and tracked Tyrone Jones down to Linden Boulevard, where he ruthlessly shot the man 11 times as he sat in his car. 

‘My office is laser-focused on gun violence, and we will utilize every tool at our disposal to investigate, arrest, and prosecute those who use deadly guns on our streets. I thank our prosecutors and the NYPD detectives who built this case.’
