At Rest

No
Officers Abdala, Adkins, Harris and Holloway responded to a weapon-related disturbance involving Cantu. Cantu had a seizure and collapsed. His head struck pavement. He died at a hospital the following day. Texas Justice Initiative regards this death as drug or alcohol related, but it cannot be confirmed with certainty that Cantu was impaired, or that officers believed him to be when they responded.
This record exists so that Jose Paul Cantu, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
