According to Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael P. Felicetta and Meghan A. Tokash, who are handling the prosecution of this case, Thompson and Jones were members of the Bailey Boys Gang, a violent criminal gang which operates in an area of Buffalo bounded by Winspear Avenue, the Kensington Expressway, Eggert Road, and Main Street.
Thompson was sentenced to 42 months in prison for his role in the October 24, 2011, shooting outside of a rental car business located at 2655 Main Street. Thompson spotted a group of rival gang members and opened fire on the group. Although he missed all of the targets, Thompson shot an 18-year-old female in the leg who was an innocent bystander. Thompson is currently serving a New York state sentence for a 2008 armed robbery and assault of a 14-year-old boy.
Jones was sentenced to time served (52 months) for his role as the driver in a drive-by shooting at 211 Shirley in Buffalo on June 28, 2011. Jones drove the vehicle that was occupied by two shooters who fired upon rival gang members at the Shirley Avenue residence. One person, an 18-year-old male, was shot in the back during that crime and the victim spent approximately three months in the hospital recovering from his injuries.
Jones was also sentenced to time served for his role in the February 6, 2015, assault of a guard at the Steuben Correctional Facility where he was being detained. Jones struck the guard in his face while being transported to his cell.
