"Murder Charges Filed Against San Antonio Officers in Fatal Shooting of Woman in Mental Health Crisis"

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.

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

The officers have been charged with murder, and a civil rights lawsuit will be filed soon. Perez's family tried to keep her on a steady path that involved counseling, medication, and prayers. The shooting indicates the San Antonio Police Department has lagged in rethinking its approach to mental health crises, as other police agencies around the country have done in recent years.
