BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Buffalo man was given 20 years in prison for fatally shooting another man during a burglary in the city's Kensington neighborhood earlier this year, the Erie County District Attorney's Office said Tuesday.
Levon Dickson, 50, shot and killed 60-year-old Mitchell Reese during an attempted residential burglary on Warwick Avenue on the evening of Feb. 6. Reese died at the scene.
Dickson pleaded guilty in October to one count of first-degree manslaughter. He had been facing up to 25 years in prison.
He will be subject to five years of post-release supervision following his release from prison.
