San Antonio teenager shot by ex-cop re-arrested on separate offense
San Antonio Teen Shot by Former Police Officer Arrested Again for Evading Arrest
A San Antonio teenager who was shot multiple times by a now former police officer has found himself on the wrong side of the law once again. Eric Cantu, the victim in a police use-of-force case, was arrested this weekend on a warrant of evading arrest. The warrant is linked to an incident that occurred in September. According to the arrest affidavit, Cantu was driving downtown and playing loud music when a bike officer attempted to pull him over. Instead of complying, Cantu chose to speed off, leading to the warrant being issued.
This recent arrest adds to Cantu’s legal troubles, as he is already facing a charge for theft in a separate case from June. The 19-year-old has been making headlines since he was shot by former SAPD Officer James Brennand in a McDonald’s parking lot. Brennand is currently facing charges of attempted murder for the shooting, which left Cantu hospitalized for several weeks.
The incident involving Cantu and Brennand has sparked a debate over police use-of-force and has drawn attention to the need for reform in law enforcement practices. The case has been closely followed by the community, as it raises questions about the accountability and training of police officers.
