A TV actor who has appeared on "Law & Order" and "Boardwalk Empire" was indicted for murder in the broad-daylight shooting of a man killed as he sat in his Jeep in Queens, prosecutors said Friday.

Isaiah Stokes, 41, is accused of ambushing 37-year-old Tyrone Jones the afternoon of Feb. 7 in Jamaica, shooting him nearly a dozen times, the Queens District Attorney’s Office said.

Stokes, who lives in Jamaica, was arraigned Friday on a three-count indictment charging him with second degree murder and weapons possession.

Surveillance footage allegedly shows the actor getting out of a vehicle near the intersection of Linden Boulevard and 200th Street, approaching the driver’s side window of a parked white Jeep Grand Cherokee and firing 11 shots, prosecutors said.

Jones, who lived about a mile and a half from the scene, was pronounced dead by EMS.
