A man who was previously found guilty of fatally shooting another man his girlfriend was visiting was sentenced to life in prison Monday. 

David Eagle Bear Turner, 21, was found guilty Aug. 13 of first-degree murder, kidnapping, first-degree burglary and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the killing, court records said.

Turner's sentences for the additional convictions, which add up to more than 28 years, will run concurrently to the life sentence. 

On March 25, 2018, Tucson police found Javier Quiroz, 24, unresponsive inside an apartment with signs of gunshot trauma. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Daily Star archives.

Officers then found a woman who said her boyfriend, Turner, forced his way into the apartment where she was and shot Quiroz multiple times.

Turner was accused of keeping the woman at the apartment for at least an hour "while they talked about their relationship," according to a court document.

Turner was arrested a short time after allowing the woman to leave the apartment. Police found a .40 caliber handgun in his possession during the arrest, the document said.

Investigators said Turner may have tracked the woman's cellphone to the apartment before the fatal shooting, the document said.
