Father shoots man pointing gun at son

A Buffalo man who was supposedly buying rims for his truck at a Liddell Street residence was shot about 11:15 p.m. Tuesday when he attempted to rob the seller, Buffalo police said.

Darius Spates, 23, of Northland Avenue pointed a gun at the seller, identified as Tony Winans, 21, of the Lidell address, and Winans' father, Tommy Travis, 44, of the same address, shot Spates, detectives said.

Spates, who suffered a gunshot wound to his forearm and underwent surgery, was listed in fair condition Wednesday in Erie County Medical Center. He was charged with attempted robbery, criminal use of a firearm, criminal possession of a weapon and menacing. Spates' alleged accomplice, Jamar V. Bailey, 25, of Bickford Avenue was charged with attempted robbery and unlawful possession of marijuana.

Travis has not been charged, Ferry-Fillmore District Lt. Joseph Lynch said.
