LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville circuit court judge sentenced Quintez Brown to 10 years in prison on state charges Thursday stemming from his shooting of Craig Greenberg in 2022, at the time a candidate for mayor.
Brown pleaded guilty in court to attempted murder and four counts of wanton endangerment. Judge Julie Kaelin sentenced him to 10 years in prison, though the sentence will be served concurrently with the 17.5 years he was already sentenced to on federal charges earlier this year.
He will be on supervised release for five years after serving out his sentence. The victims did not request any restitution. Brown asked to continue mental health treatment while incarcerated.
Brown, 24, had faced a possible life in prison sentence if convicted at federal trial.
The shooting occurred while Greenberg was running for mayor. Brown entered his campaign headquarters and opened fire. During the federal sentencing in January, Brown repeatedly apologized to Greenberg and the four other people in the room that day, saying he did something that was "dehumanizing."
"I'm sorry," he said. "I love you all. I'm so sorry; what I did tore us apart."
Brown told people in the packed courtroom, many of whom came to support him and speak on his behalf, that he loved them and, "I can't believe I caused all of this. ... I want us to come together and heal."
