BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A 20-year-old Buffalo man has been sentenced to five years in prison followed by five years of post-release supervision after a carjacking involving an off-duty Niagara Falls Officer in Buffalo earlier this year.
The Erie County District Attorney's Office said that on January 9, 2025, Dorian D. Jones displayed a gun before driving off in an officer's vehicle with the officer's 13-year-old child inside. The officer shot at Jones as he drove off.
He was later found on Delaware Avenue and taken to ECMC with non-life-threatening injuries. The child was found safely nearby.
Jones pleaded guilty in April to two counts of second-degree robbery and one count of second-degree menacing. According to the DA's Office, the incident happened after he had pleaded guilty to charges in three separate cases involving stolen vehicles.
