Three San Antonio Police Officers Charged with Murder in Fatal Shooting of Woman

Three San Antonio police officers have been charged with murder after they allegedly shot and killed a woman in her apartment. The officers had responded to a call about a woman destroying property and found Melissa Perez, 46, who was experiencing a mental health crisis. The officers attempted to arrest her, but she allegedly picked up a hammer and threw a glass candle at them. One officer fired multiple rounds, but it did not appear she was struck. Two other officers then shot Perez, who was later pronounced dead. The officers have been suspended and their actions are not consistent with SAPD's policy training.
