Footage shows the moment a 13-year-old boy was fatally shot by police after he hijacked a car and hit into the officers' squad vehicle in San Antonio, Texas.
Andre 'AJ' Hernandez was driving a stolen Toyota Corolla and threw the car in reverse, hitting the cops after they approached on June 3, 2022. Newly released clips from the fateful night now show the teen being shot.
He was shot by officer Stephen Ramos, who was responding with a partner to reports of gunfire involving the red vehicle. He fired once, wounding Hernandez in the abdomen. This shot turned out to be fatal.

You decide.
I just wanna know if hollow point were used and blood and brains splattered all over the inside of the car!??
Well, if the cop killed the second person months earlier, then clearly he killed them out of order.
Thank you for starting out my day with that quip! God bless you!
I had to be the first to say it.
Try to run over a cop and you get shot,
Can the kid’s carcass be sold for maggot food to pay for the bullet he made the policeman use?!?
So if the cop was trigger happy, what was the kid? Vehicular theft and assault happy?
The question I ask myself is: "when is it necessary for police to use deadly force?" Cornell Law School attempts to answer this question.
§ 1047.7 Use of deadly force.
(a) Deadly force means that force which a reasonable person would consider likely to cause death or serious bodily harm. Its use may be justified only under conditions of extreme necessity, when all lesser means have failed or cannot reasonably be employed. A protective force officer is authorized to use deadly force only when one or more of the following circumstances exists:
(1) Self-Defense. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to protect a protective force officer who reasonably believes himself or herself to be in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm.
(2) Serious offenses against persons. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to prevent the commission of a serious offense against a person(s) in circumstances presenting an imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm (e.g. sabotage of an occupied facility by explosives).
(3) Nuclear weapons or nuclear explosive devices. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to prevent the theft, sabotage, or unauthorized control of a nuclear weapon or nuclear explosive device.
(4) Special nuclear material. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to prevent the theft, sabotage, or unauthorized control of special nuclear material from an area of a fixed site or from a shipment where Category II or greater quantities are known or reasonably believed to be present.
(5) Apprehension. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to apprehend or prevent the escape of a person reasonably believed to: (i) have committed an offense of the nature specified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) 1 of this section; or (ii) be escaping by use of a weapon or explosive or who otherwise indicates that he or she poses a significant threat of death or serious bodily harm to the protective force officer or others unless apprehended without delay.
1 These offenses are considered by the Department of Energy to pose a significant threat of death or serious bodily harm.
(b) Additional Considerations Involving Firearms. If it becomes necessary to use a firearm, the following precautions shall be observed:
(1) A warning, e.g. an order to halt, shall be given, if feasible, before a shot is fired.
(2) Warning shots shall not be fired.

Haha. Someting wong wid dis pictuar.
Haha. Someting wong wid dis pictuar.
Here is the relevant phrase in the story: “....after he hijacked a car and hit into the officers’ squad vehicle...”
I assume they had no idea of his age at the time he did the hijacking, etc. If you do adult sized crimes, expect an appropriate response by cops prior to their checking your age.
Shot in the abdomen. Brains splattered.
Yes, for certain demographics, that does make sense.
Black on black Hispanic on Hispanic is really whitie
“When real-life Grand Theft Auto doesn’t play like the game...”
Interesting thought. A good post.
Sounds like the officer is on a roll killing bad guys.
Well said.
Young boy.
13 is the new 20.
“”Well, if the cop killed the second person months earlier, then clearly he killed them out of order.””
That was a pretty stupid statement, wasn’t it? Good grief!!!
