BUFFALO, N.Y. — A Buffalo man is facing a long stretch behind bars for the fatal stabbing of another man in September, 2019.
Erie County Court Judge James Bargnesi Wednesday morning sentenced 42-year-old Jevon Gaiter to an indeterminate sentence of 25 years to life in prison.
It took a jury less than two hours last December to convict Gaiter on a charge of second degree murder.
Gaiter, also known as 'Animal', intentionally stabbed 59-year-old Mark Bottita multiple times in the area of Tonawanda and Vulcan Streets in the Town of Tonawanda.
Bottita collapsed outside a nearby convenience store and was pronounced dead at the scene.
