The three-count indictment charges James Brennand, 28, with two counts of aggravated assault by a public servant and one count of attempted murder, according to Gonzales. The first count of aggravated assault is for shooting Erik Cantu and the second count is for shooting at or in the direction of another victim in Cantu’s vehicle, Gonzales said.According to Gonzales, the attempted murder count is for Brennand allegedly trying to cause Cantu’s death.
Brennand was arrested in October, less than two weeks after shooting 17-year-old Erik Cantu multiple times and firing toward Cantu’s teenage passenger while they were inside a vehicle in a North Side McDonald’s parking lot.
