Former SAPD officers set for trial in shooting death of woman in her apartment in June ’23

SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — There is now a trial date set for three former San Antonio police officers charged in the shooting death of a woman inside her apartment.

Melissa Perez was shot and killed during a call answered by then-officers Eleazar Alejandro, Nathaniel Villalobos and Alfred Flores in June last year.

Body cam footage showed part of the incident that now has Flores and Alejandro facing a murder charge. Villalobos was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

It was reported that Perez was having a mental health episode when officers showed up, and her family filed a lawsuit only weeks after the shooting.

KSAT-12 reports jury selection is set for September 20 with testimony scheduled to begin on September 24.
