Brennand was a rookie officer on duty when he spotted a car in a McDonald’s parking lot where Cantu sat eating a hamburger.
Suspecting the car was stolen, Brennand ordered Cantu out. Instead, Brennand opened fire as Cantu reversed and tried to drive away.
San Antonio Police Chief William McManus appeared on CNN Tuesday morning, October 11, less than 24 hours after activist groups announced a protest calling for charges against a recently fired officer for the shooting of 17-year-old Erik Cantu on October 2.
