McKinney, with reports from Journal staff writer Gregory Smith The police have said Quintal drove to South Providence with three other men in a silver Nissan Altima, looking to buy drugs, and parked in the driveway of a house at 255 Pearl St. at about 6:40 p.m. Wednesday. The police said today that during the trip from Fall River to Providence, Quintal was in cell phone contact with Mello. More than one person then approached the car in an attempted robbery, and Quintal was shot. Quintal managed to drive about a half-block to the parking lot of a Burger King on Broad Street, where the car stopped and a passenger ran into the restaurant and asked someone to call 911. Quintal was rushed to Rhode Island Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Posted by Mike McKinney CommentsTASHIA MACHADO | August 21, 2007 1:14 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.
