SAN ANTONIO – The trial of three San Antonio Police officers in the June 2023 shooting death of Melissa Perez continues today after Wednesday’s heated debate over warrant necessity.
The trial, now in its fifth day, has been marked by legal disputes over whether the officers needed a warrant to enter Perez’s home.
Sgt. Alfred Flores and Officer Eleazor Alejandro face murder charges, while Officer Nathaniel Villalobos is charged with aggravated assault in the shooting of the 46-year-old woman. Before the trial began, a heated legal argument erupted over the necessity of a warrant for the officers’ entry.
