The update, posted on a GoFundMe campaign site, said Cantu returned to the hospital due to complications with his stomach and digestive tract. It's unclear whether Cantu is still hospitalized.
"Unfortunately, another 3 days back in the hospital from complications to his stomach/digestive track," the Dec. 3 update said. "Yet again we make our way back home with our hearts in our hand knowing this is not the end, only the beginning to a whole new life."
On Oct. 2, Cantu was shot multiple times in a McDonald's parking lot by James Brennand, then a rookie San Antonio Police Department officer.
Brennand was fired from the force days later. Last week, a grand jury indicted the former officer on two counts of aggravated assault by a public servant and one count of attempted murder.
Each count of aggravated assault carries a sentence of five to 99 years in prison, and the attempted murder charge carries a sentence of two to 20 years, according to CNN.
During a press conference last week, Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales told reporters that his office will seek the maximum penalty for the charges.
