Vanessa Antrobus Quinn was 29 when she was shot and killed during the Trolley Square mall shooting in Salt Lake City on February 12, 2007. She and her husband, Richard Quinn, had been at the mall to shop for a wedding ring and spoke on the phone shortly before the attack; they were separated when the gunman began firing. The assailant, identified as 18-year-old Sulejman Talovic, carried a shotgun and a .38-caliber pistol and fired indiscriminately at shoppers and employees before being killed in a shootout with police.

An investigation later focused on how Talovic obtained the handgun. Mackenzie Glade Hunter, 20, was arrested and ultimately pleaded guilty to being a drug user in possession of a firearm; a charge of unlawfully transferring a firearm to a minor was dropped and Hunter received a 15-month prison sentence. Vanessa’s parents, Sue and Ken Antrobus, asked to be recognized as victims under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act so they could make a victim-impact statement and seek restitution, but the court denied that motion, finding their daughter was not a direct victim of Hunter’s specific offense.

Did anyone who was at Trolley Square that night or who knew Vanessa notice anything relevant in the days before the shooting?
