BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) -- A Buffalo man was sentenced Tuesday afternoon for killing one person and injuring two others in a shooting last year at Club Marcella in Buffalo, the Erie County District Attorney's Office announced. Officials said at 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 12, Sharief McBroom, 21, intentionally fired multiple shots at 21-year-old Jorge Garcia Leon inside of Club Marcella on the 100 block of Michigan Avenue. Leon died at the scene. Two other people, a 49-year-old male and a 59-year-old male, were injured by the gunfire and taken by ambulance to the hospital. “This is a completely senseless, violent crime,” said Acting Erie County District Attorney Michael Keane. “This defendant snuck an illegal gun into a nightclub then intentionally fired multiple shots at the victims after a minor altercation. I am taking a hard stance on gun violence, so no reduced plea was offered in this case.” McBroom was sentenced to 22 years to life in prison. He initially faced a maximum of 50 years to life in prison. McBroom pleaded guilty in July 2024 to one count of second-degree murder, two counts of second-degree attempted murder and one count of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
