APD officer Luis Serrato shot and killed Alex Gonzales Jr. on Jan. 5, 2021. He was called to Wickersham Lane after Officer Gabriel Gutierrez, who was off duty, shot Gonzales.
It's been almost two years since a deadly road rage incident involving an off-duty Austin police officer. Now, the case against another officer, who responded and fired his weapon, will go before a grand jury.The Travis County District Attorney’s Office rejected an Austin police officer's attorneys request to appear before a Grand Jury.
When Serrato arrived, Gutierrez had already shot Gonzales. His family believes he was reaching in the back of the vehicle for his son when Serrato opened fire. "Mr. Garza ran on this platform of police accountability, prosecuting police officers… But, he also campaigned on fairness and transparency. And if you want fairness, fairness requires both sides. It's not just the DA and whatever the DA wants the Grand Jury to hear. Fairness is allowing the opposite side and representation of Mr. Serrato," said Ervin.
