PHOENIX — A co-conspirator of the man who killed a federal agent on an Amtrak train in Tucson in 2021 pleaded guilty on Wednesday to multiple drug and weapons charges, federal prosecutors said. After finding two bulk packages of marijuana, DEA agents reentered a train car to talk to Taylor. Taylor proceeded to open fire, killing DEA group supervisor Michael Garbo and injuring a second DEA agent and a DEA task force officer. Mathis, in pleading guilty to the charges, admitted to knowing Taylor had two handguns and he could use the weapons for the drug trafficking conspiracy, authorities said. “Yesterday [Wednesday] was an important step in securing justice on behalf of a federal law enforcement agent,” United States Attorney Gary Restaino said in the release.
