Erik Cantu, girlfriend sue City of San Antonio in federal court over police shooting

The San Antonio teenager shot multiple times by a San Antonio police officer in Oct. 22, 2022, in a McDonald's parking lot has filed federal civil rights lawsuit against both the city and the former officer involved in the incident. High-profile civil rights attorney Ben Crump filed the suit Friday on behalf of Erik Cantu and Cantu's girlfriend, Emily Proulx, in U.S. District Court in San Antonio. The petition alleges San Antonio Police Chief William McManus “adopted formal and informal policies, practices, procedures, and culture” that led to officer James Brennand, who's since been removed from the force, shooting Cantu.
