Suspect cites custody battle in ambush-slaying of SAPD officer
SAN ANTONIO — A 31-year-old man arrested Monday in the fatal ambush shooting of SAPD Det. Benjamin Marconi, told reporters he was upset about a child custody battle and lashed out.
San Antonio police arrested Otis Tyrone McKane of San Antonio late Monday afternoon. Police Chief William McManus said he was taken into custody without incident.
As he was led past camera crews to be booked on a capital murder charge late Monday, McKane said he was upset about a child custody battle that prevented him from seeing his son and "I lashed out at someone who didn't deserve it."
"I've been through several custody battles, and I was upset at the situation I was in, and I lashed out at someone who didn't deserve it," McKane said before he was booked, according to a recording made available by KENS-TV. "I just want to see my son."
