San Antonio Officer James Brennand was fired after shooting Erik Cantu, 17, on Oct. 2 in a fast food restaurant parking lot, police training commander Alyssa Campos said in a video statement released Wednesday.
A Texas police officer who shot and wounded a teenager who had been sitting in his car eating a hamburger has been fired, police said.
"While Sunday's shooting of an unarmed teenager by a then-San Antonio Police officer remains under investigation, the facts and evidence we have received so far led us to reject the charges against Erik Cantu for further investigation," Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales said. Cantu, in the officer's body camera video, looks toward Brennand while holding a hamburger, then backs the car away, striking the officer with the open door.Cantu, who was struck by gunfire, stopped nearby where he and a passenger, who was not injured, were found by police.
