Britton Campbell may not serve jail time after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the 2014 death of her then-boyfriend Justin Thomas Quintana.

Campbell, 21, was sentenced Friday in 30th District Court to 5 years supervision with deferred adjudication and a $1,000 fine.

Judge Bob Brotherton told Campbell he was basing his sentencing decision on her actions and those of Quintana that night.

"Either way, you get to go home today," said Quintana's father, Alan, in a victim impact statement. "We go home broken and without our son."

During his statement, Alan Quintana spoke of his son's life and his confusion about the sentencing.

"My son was a heck of a person and always offered to help anyone. ...We don't want any ill for you, but we wanted accountability. ... My son's life is not worth food stamps," the father said, referring to a 5-year jail sentence issued in the court he witnessed earlier in the day for a man convicted of stealing food stamps.

A May 16, 2014 Times Record News article said Quintana, a former Midwestern State University student, was shot just after 1:30 a.m. that same day in the 4100 block of Weeks Park Lane at the apartment complex. Then-PIO Sgt. John Spragins said Quintana was dead when police arrived at the scene following a "frantic 911 call." Spragins said Quintana was the only person living in the apartment.

Campbell was indicted for manslaughter by the Wichita County grand jury for his death after turning herself in to authorities on Nov. 19, 2014. A Dec. 31, 2014 TRN article said Campbell was interviewed by detectives overnight and released without an arrest being made.

"They were pretty much just playing with a gun and it went off," WFPD PIO Brandie Banda said in the Dec. 31 article based on the detectives' information. "It was a freak accident, but she was reckless in doing it."
