Bexar County District Attorney

The review of Johnson’s autopsy report came 16 months after he was shot and killed by SAPD officers during an attempted arrest.

Johnson was killed by SAPD officers last March. His mother, Arlene Garcia, said she’s tried to view her son’s autopsy for over a year without success. Now, she has the chance.

Arlene Garcia says she was promised Kevin Johnson’s autopsy in a March 29 meeting, but when she arrived she was told they didn’t have it.

In his two elections, Gonzales proved adept at navigating tides of national issues to victory. In 2018 he unseated incumbent Nico LaHood in his Democratic primary, running on a police accountability and reform platform. His challenger this time, Republican Marc LaHood (Nico’s brother) was swimming against the tide of abortion access.

Republican challenger is leaning into criticism of Democratic incumbent Joe Gonzales, his record and his administration of the district attorney's office. But with gun control and abortion access at the fore of politics, will his messaging work?
