A former San Antonio police officer who shot 17-year-old Erik Cantu in the parking lot of a San Antonio McDonald’s on Oct. 2 has bonded out of jail, records show.
James Brennand, 27, was charged with two counts of aggravated assault by a public servant, a first-degree felony, records show.
“The shooting itself was unjustified -- administratively and criminally,” McManus told the news media in a briefing Tuesday night. McManus said the two charges are in connection with the shooting of the teen and because there was a passenger in the vehicle at the time.The affidavit states that police did “not believe the use of deadly force was reasonable given the totality of the circumstances.” Brennand was also “not in clear danger of death or serious bodily injury,” the affidavit states.
