3 San Antonio police officers were charged with murder on Friday, less than 24 hours after they fatally shot a woman during a police call, their chief announced.
Officer Eleazar Alejandro, 28; Sgt. Alfred Flores, 45; and officer Nathaniel Villalobos, 27, are suspended from the force without pay as the investigation continues. All were released on $100,000 bond, Bexar County jail records show.
According to McManus, one officer opened fire, but Perez was not hit and could be heard still speaking on the body camera video. "There's no words to explain to a 9-year-old how three police officers all thought it was OK to gun this woman down in unison while she was in her own house behind a wall," Packard said.The San Antonio Police Officers' Association expressed its condolences for Perez's family in a statement Monday. Citing the active investigation, the association said it "cannot speak to the matter further until the investigation is complete and judicial process is underway.
Five officers in Memphis, Tennessee, were quickly charged in the death of Tyre Nichols, in contrast to earlier cases, such as the police shooting of Jacob Blake, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in which officials decided not to charge the officer five months later. "We believe that there are systemic problems in the department that allowed this to happen," Packard added.Packard told CNN Perez had schizophrenia and may have had prior interactions with police. The attorney said he's not sure how easily accessible that information would have been to the officers who responded to her home last week.
