Brooklyn Man Sentenced for 2025 Auburn Murder

The Brooklyn man convicted in a 2025 Auburn fatal shooting case has learned how long he’ll spend behind bars.

Cayuga County District Attorney Brittany Grome Antonacci announced that 35-year-old Davon Dixon, who previously pled guilty to one count each of felony Murder and Criminal Possession of a Weapon, was sentenced Tuesday to an indeterminate sentence of 20 years to life for the murder conviction and 15 years determinate plus five years post-release supervision for the weapon conviction. The sentences will run concurrently.

“We hope that imposition of a life sentence will bring the victim’s family a sense of closure and justice.” District Attorney Grome Antonacci commented. “We have seen too many senseless acts of gun violence, not only in our community, but across the state. Our office, along with our law enforcement partners, are committed to seeking justice in these cases. I commend the victim’s family members, and community representatives, for their courage to stand up and speak today before the Court, as well as the quick response and thorough investigation by members of the Auburn Police Department GIVE detail.”

On July 26, 2025, Dixon shot and killed 43-year-old Ronell Agee of Rochester at a community block party in the area of Oak Creek Town Homes. He was arrested at the scene.

Prosecution in the case was handled by District Attorney Brittany Grome Antonacci and Special Counsel Mark Moody.
