>>17944523Murder charges were filed Friday against three members of the San Antonio Police Department after they allegedly shot and killed a woman earlier in the day, the department said.
Melissa Perez, 46, was shot and killed by the officers, police said.
The officers -- Sgt. Alfred Flores, Officer Eleazar Alejandro and Officer Nathaniel Villalobos -- were suspended following a review of the shooting, the department said in a statement late Friday.
Their "actions are not consistent with SAPD's policy training and they placed themselves in a situation where they used deadly force which was not reasonable given all the circumstances as we now understand them," Chief William McManus said during a press conference.
The officers had been dispatched at about 12:27 a.m. to an apartment complex on the city's southwest side after a report of vandalism, Lt. Michelle Ramos said in a video released by the department. A woman was said to have "cut wires to an alarm panel" for the apartment complex
x, Ramos said.
