SAN ANTONIO – Erik Cantu, the man shot by a now-former SAPD officer, has been re-arrested on burglary charges.

On Friday, 20-year-old Erik Cantu was arrested and charged with burglary of a habitation after an alleged offense on Thursday, according to Bexar County records.

According to the arrest affidavit, on Dec. 4, Catur allegedly broke into the apartment of the mother of his child and stole an iPad.

The victim allegedly received an alert from Apple that the iPad was moving away from her apartment, ultimately arriving at Cantu’s home address.

Police allege that Cantu used the iPad to message his child’s mother, as well as her friends. A witness also alleged seeing the suspect on the victim’s second-story patio before the burglary allegedly occurred.

Cantu had been sentenced to eight years’ probation on Nov. 18, 2025, having been convicted of committing an assault on Sept. 28, 2024.

Despite the defense’s argument that Cantu had been a model probationer since his first motion to revoke (MTR) in October 2024, the court imposed a suspended 10-year prison sentence, with 8 years of probation.

Erik Cantu was released from the Bexar County Jail on a $50,000 bond. Cantu is set to reappear before a judge in connection with his previous assault charge on Dec. 15.
