BUFFALO, NY – A man who brutally stabbed and killed 29-year-old Ronald Green outside a corner store at the intersection of East Ferry Street and Jefferson Avenue has been sentenced to 21 years in prison with 5 years of post-release supervision.
Erie County District Attorney John J. Flynn announced that 30-year-old Quinton O. Turner of Buffalo was sentenced for the charge of first-degree manslaughter which he pleaded guilty to in April.
According to the Erie County District Attorney’s Office, on January 5, 2020, at approximately 5:00 a.m., the defendant stabbed the victim multiple times inside of a corner store located on East Ferry Street near Jefferson Avenue in the City of Buffalo.
