A Pima County jury on Tuesday found David Eagle Bear Turner, 21, guilty of first-degree murder, kidnapping, first-degree burglary and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to court records. 

On March 25, 2018, Tucson police found 24-year-old Javier Quiroz, unresponsive inside the apartment with signs of gunshot trauma, Arizona Daily Star archives show. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
