BUFFALO — A 29-year-old Buffalo man was sentenced to 13 1/2 years in prison and five years post-release supervision by Erie County Court Judge Thomas P. Franczyk following an April verdict finding him guilty of first-degree murder.

According to the Erie County District Attorney’s Office, on Nov. 15, 2014, Isaiah Cormack confronted 26-year-old Brendan Crawford of Buffalo about an affair with his wife at house party on Orange Street and shot him in the stomach. The bullet ripped through Crawford’s abdomen, came out, went through his elbow and went into a wall. Crawford underwent four surgeries and was hospitalized for more than a month.

Cormack fled after the shooting and was arrested a week later after a police chase that ended when the defendant drove his car into a pond in Cheektowaga.
