Buffalo man arrested on warrant in connection with Elmwood shooting

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Buffalo man accused of shooting three men on Elmwood Avenue has been located by the U.S. Marshals Service in Maryland and arrested on a warrant.

The Erie County District Attorney’s Office announced that Dominique Singletary, 29 years old was arraigned Wednesday in state Supreme Court on an indictment charging him with three counts of attempted second-degree murder, one count of first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault and one count of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

Singletary is accused of using an illegal weapon to fire multiple shots at the victims during an altercation in the 1100 block of Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo. Three men were injured and were treated at ECMC. One victim suffered serious physical injuries and the other two suffered non-life threatening injuries.

“It’s a city problem. It happened here, but it happened all over the city,” a Mr. Goodbar employee told 7 News in June. The shooting happened just down the street from the bar.

The district attorney’s office said that after Singletary was arrested in Maryland, he was returned to western New York to face prosecution after waiving extradition proceedings.

Singletary was held without bail and no court date has been set. Temporary protective orders have been issued on behalf of the victims.

He faces a maximum sentence of 75 years in prison if convicted of the most serious charges.
