The APD officers who killed Alex Gonzales will face no consequences after chaotic 2021 encounter.
that Chacon fire Gutierrez and Serrato. They are dismayed and furious. “As Alex Gonzales’ mother, I demand to know all of the information that was used to make this decision and how anyone can see what I saw, see what this whole city saw, and say that that was ok,”said. “These people will never know the pain that I feel, that my whole family feels, from losing Alex.
Gonzales’ killing began as a road rage incident with either Gonzales or Gutierrez – accounts differ – swerving his car in front of the other driver. Gutierrez told investigators that as the cars came side-by-side Gonzales pointed a gun at him and he fired his own in response. The officer emptied his clip, firing eight shots and hitting Gonzales in the side of the head and Arrelano in the back, neck, and lungs–all while their three-month-old son sat in the backseat.
The two drivers then parked. Gutierrez called 9-1-1, describing Arrelano as lying on the ground outside the passenger door and Gonzales as standing next to the driver’s door with blood on his face. Officers Serrato and Brian Nenno arrived, pointed their guns, and shouted orders. Dash camera video shows Gonzales walking around the back of his car, unarmed, to check on his baby. Serrato yells, “Don’t reach!” repeatedly.
APD’s statement excuses Gutierrez’s conduct by saying that he acted in self-defense, something for which there is little publicly available corroboration. It says that Serrato followed department policy, though the video shows that he did not try to deescalate the situation.
