APD Kills Again : vimarsana.com

Austin police shot and killed
Alexander Gonzales and injured his girlfriend,
Jessica Arellano, in Southeast Austin shortly after midnight on Jan. 5, following an alleged altercation between Gonzales and an
off­-duty Austin Police Department officer while both were driving in the 2500 block of Wickersham Lane. Gon­zal­es and Arellano s 2-month-old son was in the backseat of the car and was not injured.
The officer claims to have been cut off by Gonzales, who, the officer told investigators, pointed a gun. This prompted the officer, not in uniform and in a private vehicle, to fire a number of rounds at Gonzales vehicle before initiating a stop and calling 911. From here, bystander video recorded by a witness from a nearby apartment balcony shows how events unfolded.
