In bodycam footage, the teen looks toward the officer while holding a hamburger, then backs the car away, striking the officer with the open door just before the cop opens fire.
Brennand opened fire several times, wounding the unarmed teenager as he drove away.“The officer abruptly opened the driver’s door and ordered the driver out of the car” before the arrival of backup officers that Brennand had requested, Campos said.Cantu, who was struck by gunfire, stopped nearby where he and a passenger, who was not injured, were found by police.
“There is nothing I can say in defense of that officer’s actions that night,” Police Chief William McManus told WOAI-TV. “I think what happened, initially, there was some contact made, but that did not justify the shooting.”San Antonio PD via AP Cantu was hospitalized in stable condition and initially charged with evading police and aggravated assault.
Gonzales, the district attorney, said no decision had been made on whether to pursue charges against Brennand, pending the outcome of a police investigation into the shooting. “As we do with all officer-involved shootings that result in death or serious injury, we will submit the case to a Grand Jury for their consideration. Until that happens, we can make no further comment on this matter,” Gonzales said.Share this article:
