TL;DR Summary

Three San Antonio police officers have been charged with murder in the shooting death of Melissa Perez. The officers were arrested and charged on the same day as the incident, which is unusual in police shootings. The charges of murder instead of manslaughter indicate a higher level of intent. The officers allegedly entered Perez's home without a warrant and used deadly force, despite her not posing an imminent threat and not having a firearm. The investigation is ongoing, and the cases will be presented to a grand jury for review.
