SAN ANTONIO – A 20-year-old man who was shot by a San Antonio Police officer when he was a teenager is expected to appear in court today for a bond hearing.
However, it’s tied to a separate case.
Today’s hearing will determine if bond should be revoked for 20-year-old Erik Cantu.

Since being shot by a San Antonio Police officer, Erik Cantu’s road to recovery has been long. He has also been in front of a judge several times.
You may recall it was in October of 2022, when the then 17-year-old Cantu was shot by then-SAPD officer James Brennand in a North Side McDonald’s parking lot.
According to reports, Cantu was sitting in his vehicle eating when Brennand approached, opened the driver’s door, and ordered him out. Brennand was indefinitely suspended following the shooting.
Since his recovery, Cantu has been arrested several times.

This includes an arrest in 2023 with his girlfriend for theft. According to police, the pair stole a car charger and air freshener from a Walmart.
He was arrested again in 2024 on a warrant for violating the terms of his community supervision.
Then again in 2025 on an assault charge, where he was accused of throwing a woman to the ground.
And finally last year, for stealing a tablet from an apartment of someone he knew.
This morning, he is expected to see a judge on a motion to revoke his bond on this latest charge.
Right now, his bond has been set at $90,000.
