At 10:30 p.m. Sunday evening, an officer handling a disturbance at the McDonald’s on Blanco Road noticed a vehicle in the parking lot he believed was stolen and had fled from him during an attempted stop the night before. The vehicle, which was not related to the disturbance call, was occupied by a 17 year-old male Eric Cantu, and a female passenger. The Officer abruptly opened the driver’s door and ordered the driver out of the car. The officer was hit by the open door as the driver started to reverse the vehicle. The officer then stepped back and opened fire on the vehicle as the driver continued to reverse away from him. The driver shifted the vehicle to drive and then turned away from the Officer to leave. The Officer shot several more times at the fleeing vehicle and then ran after the vehicle. The driver suffered multiple gunshot wounds. His passenger was uninjured.
There has been no confirmation that the vehicle was stolen.
San Antonio Police Chief William McManus has determined that the actions of the probationary officer during this critical incident were in violation of departmental tactics, training, and procedures.
The officer has been fired.
