Erik Cantu Jr. rehospitalized for complications after being shot by SAPD officer, family says

The teenager who was shot by a San Antonio police officer in October was hospitalized again.

An update from Saturday states that Erik Cantu Jr. was back in the hospital, but it’s unclear if he’s still there.“Unfortunately, another 3 days back in the hospital from complications to his stomach/digestive track,” the update states. “Yet again we make our way back home with our hearts in our hand knowing this is not the end, only the beginning to a whole new life.”

Cantu Jr., 17, sustained injuries to his stomach, diaphragm, lungs, liver, bicep and forearm after he was shot by SAPD officer Brennand. He was on life support for a number of weeks following the shooting and his parents previously revealed that Cantu Jr. had a tracheotomy. Cantu Jr.’s mother Victoria Casarez previously stated that her son still has a bullet lodged near his heart and said it would do more harm than good to remove it. It’s unclear if that’s still the case.

Eric Cantu, the teen’s father, has said there will be “weeks and months and years of rehab but he’s proving he can do it.”
