16-Year-Old Charged in Shocking Mesa Desert Murder: A Chilling Tale of Crime and Consequences

Share news:

A tragic story unfolded last month in Mesa, Arizona, where a young teenager, just 16 years old, is now facing very serious charges. Edgar Cano Quintero has been accused of killing a man at a trailer park near McKellips Road and the Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway.

The incident happened on December 18, 2024. According to authorities, surveillance video captured Quintero committing the crime. In the footage, he is seen shooting a man who was sitting inside a pickup truck. What happened next is chilling. Quintero ran away from the scene but soon returned. This time, he drove off in the same truck with the victim’s body still inside.

Later, detectives with the Mesa Police Department discovered the abandoned truck in the desert. Inside, they found the victim’s lifeless body. It wasn’t long before Quintero was arrested. He’s now in jail with a hefty $1 million cash-only bond keeping him behind bars.

The charges against him are severe. He’s facing one count of First-Degree Murder, which is among the most serious crimes in the country. In addition to that, he’s been charged with Armed Robbery, Theft of Means of Transportation, Abandonment or Concealment of a Dead Body, and Tampering with Physical Evidence. Each charge represents a different aspect of the horrifying events that unfolded that day.
