A Tucson man has been sentenced to three years of supervised probation for lying to federal authorities about his role in a shooting that left four people dead including a Pima County constable.
Prosecutors said 35-year-old Josue Lopez Quintana received a time-served sentence Wednesday. He also was ordered by a judge to pay a $3,000 fine for making false statements to federal agents and now is prohibited from owning a firearm.
Authorities with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona said Quintana was interviewed as part of investigation into the Aug. 25 shooting at a Tucson apartment complex.

Federal investigators concluded that the lower receiver of the firearm used in the shooting was bought by Quintana in November 2021 as he allegedly signed a form stating he wasn’t acquiring it on behalf of another person.
Prosecutors said there was no evidence that Quintana knew Stansell’s intent.
