Murder charges were filed against three members of the San Antonio Police Department after they allegedly shot and killed a woman, the department says.
Murder charges were filed Friday against three members of the San Antonio Police Department after they allegedly shot and killed a woman earlier in the day, the department said.The officers -- Sgt. Alfred Flores, Officer Eleazar Alejandro and Officer Nathaniel Villalobos -- were suspended following a review of the shooting, the department said in a statement late Friday.
The officers had been dispatched at about 12:27 a.m. to an apartment complex on the city's southwest side after a report of vandalism, Lt. Michelle Ramos said in a video released by the department. A woman was said to have "cut wires to an alarm panel" for the apartment complex, Ramos said. “It appears that Ms. Perez was having a mental health crisis,” McManus said. “Officers attempted to get her to walk toward their patrol car, but she ran back to her apartment and she locked the door.”Video released by the department appears to show an officer then climbing over a railing onto the patio of Perez's first-floor apartment. The officer in the video attempts to open the door.
