Stephen Quintero – A Man of Honor, Value and Most Important LOVE

Quintero was found guilty after two hours of deliberations from a jury of 11 men and one woman; Blanca was shot to death at their far east El Paso home while their 8-year-old daughter witnessed most of the fight between him and Blanca and grabbed a butter knife to protect her mother, according to testimony.

Early Life and Education

Quintero was raised in a family that was torn apart by their drinking, as his uncle and aunt testified. Both his father would leave them for days at a time while his mother indulged in extramarital affairs.

Cally Bright, the Deputy district attorney in this case, noted that Quintero should have known better given his DUI conviction; however, due to severe learning disabilities he could not fully comprehend the potential repercussions of driving under the influence.

Darlene Christof, a dancer at the establishment where Quintero entered, recognized him from a photographic line-up. She described him as looking scruffy while carrying a gun; furthermore she recalls him placing a rag into her mouth to silence her; wearing a dark jacket with a hood over his head he could be easily identifiable.
