A now-former San Antonio police officer was charged on Tuesday with two counts of aggravated assault after last week’s shooting of a teenager who was eating a hamburger in his car in a McDonald’s car park in Texas. James Brennand, 25, was charged in the October 2 shooting of Erik Cantu, 17, according to a police statement.
Mr Cantu’s family said in a statement on Tuesday that “there is no improvement in his condition. He is still unconscious and is on life support”.
“The last two days have been difficult, and we expect more difficulty ahead, but we remain hopeful,” the statement continued. Their lawyer, Brian Powers, said it is “an incredibly difficult time for them”.
