Melissa Perez

Three officers are charged in connection with shooting and killing Perez in June 2023 during an apparent mental health crisis. Two are charged with murder, and the third is charged with aggravated assault.

Her relatives dispute a federal judge's recommendations to dismiss their civil suit against the City of San Antonio and two police officers over the 2023 death.

A state district judge on Monday denied several motions of continuance to delay the trial. A trial date of Sept. 24 has been set for the three former officers.

Two former officers will face murder charges, and a third will face aggravated assault.
