Statement regarding arrest of James Brennand

Tuesday evening, former officer James Brennand was booked on two warrants for the offense of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon by a public servant, a first-degree felony. The charges stem from the Oct. 2, 2022, shooting of Erik Cantu. 

The arrest does not complete the SAPD investigation into the Oct. 2, 2022, shooting.  Our office awaits the conclusion of the investigation so that our Civil Rights Division can fully review the case and take whatever action justice demands. Consistent with the policy of the Civil Rights Division, this case will be presented to a grand jury.  We also remain in contact with the Cantu family through their attorney and understand that he remains in critical condition. 

As this case is pending with our office, we can make no comment on the facts of the case.
