Buffalo Man Charged for Shooting that Killed 1 Person and Injured 2!

A tragic shooting incident in Buffalo’s Willert Park neighborhood has resulted in an indictment for Ernest Brown, 41. Brown stands accused of second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon following a shooting that occurred on July 22, 2023.

The incident unfolded around 3 a.m. near the intersection of Genesee Street and Mortimer Street, where Buffalo police responded to reports of gunfire outside a local tavern. Upon arrival, officers discovered three victims who had sustained gunshot wounds.

Among them, 31-year-old Devin Lockwood tragically succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The other two victims, aged 33 and 44, were rushed to Erie County Medical Center (ECMC) by ambulance, where they received treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.

According to the Erie County District Attorney’s Office, Ernest Brown and his alleged accomplice, 25-year-old Twandrell L. Dean, were reportedly acting together in the commission of the crime. Both are accused of using an illegal firearm with the intent to cause harm. Dean had previously been apprehended on an indictment warrant and faces charges similar to Brown, including second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

In New York State, the charges Brown and Dean face could result in a maximum penalty of 25 years to life imprisonment if convicted of the most severe offenses.

Ernest Brown, who appeared in court for arraignment, was denied bail and remains in custody pending further legal proceedings. He is scheduled to appear for a pre-trial conference on July 16. Twandrell L. Dean, meanwhile, is held in custody and is expected to appear before a judge on August 7.
