Man Strangles 20-year-old Stepdaughter to Death

The Erie County District Attorney's Office announced that a Buffalo man is facing a homicide charge tied to the death of his stepdaughter last summer.

Prosecutors say 38-year-old Peter D. Brown was formally arraigned Friday morning on a single count of second-degree murder.

Investigators say Brown strangled 20-year-old Kayshawnna Jordan on August 4th, 2024, at a residence on the 400 block of East Ferry Street.

Brown fled New York after the killing and was taken into custody in Randolph County, Alabama, in a few months later in October. He was transported back to Erie County after prosecutors secured a governor’s warrant for his return.

Brown faces a potential sentence of 25 years to life in prison if convicted. He remains held without bail.
