GREENVILLE – A Henderson man with a prior manslaughter conviction has been sentenced to seven years in federal prison for shooting at another man in the parking lot of a local bar.
Quindarius Dante Rainey, 30, was sentenced by Senior United States District Judge Malcolm J. Howard.
Rainey was named in an indictment filed on July 31, 2019, charging him with possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon. He had previously pleaded guilty to that charge on November 12, 2019.
According to the investigation, Rainey was captured on video surveillance shooting a handgun with an extended magazine multiple times at another man during the early morning hours of August 26, 2018. The shooting occurred in the parking lot of the 85 Bar & Lounge in Henderson. The victim attempted to flee and Rainey continued to shoot at the man while chasing him.
Rainey then entered his vehicle and fled the scene. The victim was not injured, but several nearby businesses and cars sustained property damage.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
The Henderson Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) conducted the investigation. Assistant United States Attorneys Robert J. Dodson and John Parris prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.
