The family of Quintero Arnett, a 25-year-old man tragically murdered in front of his girlfriend and four-year-old daughter earlier this year, has taken a bold step in their quest for justice. They are offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for his death. This reward, privately coordinated by family and friends, aims to encourage individuals with concrete evidence to come forward, bypassing traditional channels like the police or Crime Stoppers. The family’s decision underscores their frustration with the lack of progress in the investigation, which has seen no significant updates in seven months. Quinton Arnett, Quintero’s father, emphasized the family’s determination to keep the case alive, fearing it could otherwise become a cold case. He urged anyone with information to step forward, promising anonymity and confidentiality. The family marked what would have been Quintero’s 25th birthday with a visit to his grave, a prayer service, and the release of balloons, followed by a gathering at home. Quintero, a boat captain and mechanic, was remembered as a devoted father and hardworking young man with dreams of owning his own boat. The shocking CCTV footage of the February shooting, which showed masked gunmen opening fire as Quintero’s daughter fled, sparked national outrage. Despite the pain, Quinton Arnett has chosen forgiveness, stating, ‘I forgive them, but we definitely want justice for him.’ The family’s ultimate wish is for closure and justice as the investigation continues.
