NEW: A former San Antonio police officer who shot a teenager in the parking lot of McDonald’s has been arrested on two counts of assault.
Erik Cantu, 17, remained unconscious and on life support, an attorney for his family said earlier Tuesday.Police got a warrant for Brennand but the case has not yet gone to the district attorney, McManus said.
An emailed request for comment to the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office was not immediately returned Tuesday night. The case did not appear to be listed in online court records, and it was not clear if Brennand had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.Brennand was responding to an unrelated disturbance call at the McDonald’s around 10:45 p.m. on Oct. 2 when the shooting occurred.
He noticed a car, driven by Cantu, that had evaded him earlier in the day over a registration that did not match, police have said. Brennand abruptly opened the door, ordered Cantu to get out, and opened fire when the car was put in reverse and backed up, police have said.He faces two counts of aggravated assault because there were two people in the car when the shots were fired, McManus said. A 17-year-old girl in the passenger seat was not injured.
