The San Antonio, Texas police officer who shot an unarmed 17-year-old Erik Cantu in his car at a McDonald’s parking lot turned himself in on Tuesday and is likely to face criminal charges.
Cantu remains on life support, and his attorney Brian Powers said in a statement that there are no significant changes in his client’s recovery.
“At this time, there is no improvement in his condition. He is still unconscious and is on life support. The last two days have been difficult, and we expect more difficulty ahead, but we remain hopeful,” Powers said, according to the Independent.
Cantu is sedated and closely monitored as his lungs are functioning by a machine.
On Oct. 2, the 17-year-old was shot near a McDonald’s parking lot in San Antonio, Texas, by officer James Brennand after he allegedly mistook the vehicle for a car that previously evaded arrest, as previously reported by Blavity.
