Time is running out for the Austin Police Chief to discipline the officers involved in one of the more troubling police killings of recent years.
Elizabeth Gonzales tells commissioners,"They didn't kill him, they murdered him. Do you know how many bullets he had in him? I do. I know how many bullets, I know where all the bullets were in his body."
State law keeps the testimony heard by a grand jury secret when it no-bills a suspect, so it's unlikely the public will learn what led up to Gonzales' killing on Jan. 5, 2021. There are two versions of the events. Gutierrez, who was off duty and driving his personal car that evening, told investigators that Gonzales pulled in front of him as he drove in Southeast Austin, then slowed down and pointed a gun at him. The officer said he raised his own gun and shot several times at Gonzales.
Then he stumbles around the car toward Arellano, as Serrato screams,"Don't reach!" Gonzales opens the rear door of the car, where his baby is sitting, and pushes his head inside. Serrato fires 10 times at Gonzales' side and back, killing him and shattering the car's windshield. The baby is unharmed. According to Elizabeth Gonzales, who has seen the unedited police video, officers then handcuff Gonzales' dead body.
