The 2023 police shooting of Melissa Perez — a case that drew national attention — will go before a jury on Friday afternoon for the first time.

On June 23, 2023, Perez, 46, experienced a mental health crisis inside her Southwest Side apartment, where SAPD body camera footage showed she was fatally shot by ex-SAPD officers Eleazar Alejandro, Alfred Flores and Nathaniel Villalobos.

After more than 12 hours of jury selection that stretched well into Thursday night, a jury was officially seated just before 11 p.m. Court proceedings are expected to begin at noon on Friday.
