Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said Wednesday that the fatal police shooting of Nathaniel Sanders II did not constitute excessive force and that the officer's tactics before the shooting were within departmental rules.
But senior police officer Leonardo Quintana will begin serving a 15-day unpaid suspension today for not turning on his patrol car camera before approaching Sanders — a policy violation that Acevedo said perpetuated mistrust between the department and community.
Acevedo's decision — condemned Wednesday night by several African American leaders — concluded the internal affairs investigation into the May 11 shooting outside the Walnut Creek Apartments on Springdale Road in East Austin.
