On the night of Jan. 5, an off-duty cop in his personal vehicle chased and hunted down Alexander Gonzales through the streets of Austin, Tex., for allegedly cutting him off in traffic. Gonzales pulled to the side of the road after the plainclothes cop shot into his car, and on-duty officers arrived on the scene as “backup,” killing Gonzales within minutes.
In shooting at Alexander Gonzales, the off-duty and on-duty cops wounded his fiancé and narrowly missed shooting their baby.
‘Don’t make me shoot you again, man!‘
The deadly encounter was initiated by a still-unnamed officer who, while out of uniform, off the job, and in his personal vehicle, claims that Gonzales was “following” him and “flashed a gun” at him. Because the cop was off-duty, no bodycam footage exists to confirm any aspect of his story.
