A teen shot by a San Antonio police officer three weeks ago as he put his car in reverse while eating a hamburger is still hospitalised and his condition remains “very touch and go,” his father said Tuesday in the family’s first public comments since the shooting.“He is getting slightly better, his wounds are healing, but the wounds that he’s endured, they are great, there’s a lot of them,” Erik Cantu Sr said at a news conference.Family attorney Ben Crump – who has taken on some of the nation’s most high-profile police killings of Black people – said the family has been told that the now-fired officer who shot 17-year-old Erik Cantu racially profiled him while searching for a Hispanic suspect.
