A Kentucky man pleaded guilty today to firing gunshots at current Louisville, Kentucky, Mayor Craig Greenberg during Greenberg’s 2022 campaign.
According to court documents, on the morning of February 14, 2022, Quintez Brown, 23, of Louisville, walked into Greenberg’s campaign office, where Greenberg was meeting with four staffers. Brown fired multiple shots at Greenberg before staffers were able to close and barricade the door.
Brown was apprehended several blocks from the shooting, carrying the firearm that he had used in the shooting in a backpack. As part of his guilty plea, Brown admitted that he shot at Greenberg because Greenberg was running for mayor.
Brown pleaded guilty to interfering with a federally protected activity and using and discharging a firearm about a crime of violence. He is scheduled to be sentenced on October 21.
If the court accepts the terms of the plea agreement, Brown faces a minimum penalty of 15 years in prison, a maximum penalty of 18 years, and one month in prison.
A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
