San Antonio Police Department

Baltasar Rodriguez died on Sept. 1, 2021, of an apparent overdose as SAPD officers attempted to detain him. His close family and friends claim officers killed him.

Questions remain on how the city’s police force polices itself. TPR obtained the officers’ performance evaluations and compared them with disciplinary records. One expert told TPR the disparity between the documents was 'alarming.'

Three SAPD officers were charged with murder after shooting and killing Melissa Perez in her apartment in June. Perez had schizophrenia; now, families of others with severe mental illnesses worry their loved ones are at risk too.

Arlene Garcia says she was promised Kevin Johnson’s autopsy in a March 29 meeting, but when she arrived she was told they didn’t have it.

TPR consulted two experts in policing about the shooting case, what the body camera footage showed, and what disciplinary records revealed about the city's supervision of its officers.

San Antonio is the first city in Texas to implement a program that helps drivers pay for repairs.

The lawsuit said Perez was the latest victim of a police force culture of excessive force, lack of training, and undervaluing mental health.

The senior San Antonio police officer now awaiting indictment for the murder of Melissa Perez was nearly fired six years ago, according to public records obtained by TPR.

Chief William McManus announced during a news conference on Monday that a series of weekend shootings all involved targeted victims and were not random, but only two of the incidents are believed to be related.

High-profile civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who represented the family of Trayvon Martin and George Floyd, is now representing the family of Erik Cantu, the 17-year-old shot by now-charged former San Antonio Police Department officer James Brennand.
