Alex Gonzales Police Shooting Body Camera Heartbreaking and Tragic , Family s Attorney Says After Release
On 4/28/21 at 2:22 PM EDT
The mother of Alex Gonzales, who was fatally shot by Austin, Texas, police officers on January 5, canceled a press conference because she was overcome with emotion after she viewed newly released police video of her son s killing. I think when you see the video, it s going to be heartbreaking and tragic, the attorney for Gonzales parents, Scott Hendler, told KXAN on Tuesday. What happened is unconscionable, in my opinion. There s no credible defense for it.
Austin Police Department (APD) released the footage to the public on Wednesday of what body and dashboard cameras recorded in the officer-involved shooting. The footage comes 113 days since the incident, which APD said is because severe winter storms in mid-February delayed the video release.

AUSTIN (AP) A grand jury will consider whether to bring charges against a man who drove into a crowd demonstrating in Austin against police violence last July and shot and killed an armed protester, prosecutors said Friday. Travis County District Attorney José Garza announced the move in a statement without identifying the man who shot Garrett Foster, 28. The man s attorneys have identified him as Army Sgt. Daniel Perry, a Fort Hood soldier, whom they say was working for a ride-share company and acted in self-defense after Foster pointed a gun at him.
