Federal agents say the man purchased the lower receiver for the gun Gavin Lee Stansell used later to shoot three people to death at a Tucson apartment complex before turning the gun on himself.
Jamie Donnelly A Tucson man was sentenced to three years probation after he lied to federal agents about buying the weapon used in a mass shooting that left four people dead, including a Pima County constable.
On Aug. 25, Constable Deborah Martinez-Garibay and Lind Commons apartment manager Angela Fox-Heath, 28, were shot and killed by Gavin Lee Stansell, 2. Martinez-Garibay was serving Stansell with an eviction notice when he opened fire on the women. Following the shooting, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives started an investigation into the purchase of the firearm used in the mass shooting. They say Quintana purchased the firearm's lower receiver in November 2021, the news release said.
Quintana had told federal agents that he purchased the lower receiver for himself. After agents showed him text messages that contradicted his story, he admitted to lying and purchasing the lower receiver for Stansell, the news release said.
