Man sentenced for Warren murder

WARREN — Gregory S. Brewer apparently entered the home of Dominic Bufano last Aug. 21 on friendly terms but left as Bufano’s killer.

When approached by a detective several days later, he admitted he had stabbed Bufano to death in the basement of Bufano’s home, said Chris Becker, an assistant Trumbull County prosecutor.

Bufano, 55, was found dead at the house he shared with his elderly mother on Bingham Avenue Northwest. She called police at 7:25 p.m. because she could hear a “disturbance” in the basement.

Brewer, 50, who has been to prison several times in the past on drug charges, pleaded guilty today in common pleas court before Judge Andrew Logan to aggravated murder, aggravated robbery and tampering with evidence, and was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison.
