A high-profile attorney will soon file a civil lawsuit against the City of San Antonio and a police officer who shot and killed 13-year-old Andre 'AJ' Hernandez earlier this month.
Attorney Lee Merritt, who is representing Andre"AJ" Hernandez's family, said police body camera footage contradicts SAPD's accounts of the shooting of Hernandez.
Lynda Espinoza, Hernandez’s mother, decided not to watch all of the footage, which showed the last moments of her son’s life. It’s possible that the ultimate charge could be manslaughter, Merritt said. Based on how video of quickly Ramos fired the shot — and without verbal warning — that killed Hernandez, he said, “it appeared to me is that it was potentially a misfire or inadvertent fire.
As police attempted to stop the car, it “accelerated towards a marked SAPD patrol vehicle, crashing into the officer’s patrol vehicle.” Merritt said the camera footage showed the officer in the vehicle that Hernandez struck then drew his gun and pointed it atcrawled out of his car window.
