Boerne police officer Cpl. Cheyenne Weber, who fatally shot 41-year-old Brandon Cruz in February, will not face any criminal charges in Kendall County after the grand jury met earlier this month and opted not to move forward in the case.
According to a press release from the city, a high-speed chase originated out of Gillespie County at about 1:30 p.m. Feb. 21 and continued into Kendall County. Information passed to officers stated Cruz’s family was able take a gun away from him in the Fredericksburg area before he drove away. They were not sure if he had any additional weapons. Information stated Cruz was described as “suicidal.”
The chase continued in Kendall County and into Boerne, where attempts were made to stop the vehicle. Officers lost sight of Cruz’s vehicle, but sometime later Cruz and his car were spotted in the back parking area of the apartment complex at 825 Johns Road.
