SAN ANTONIO — The trial for three former San Antonio police officers accused in the killing of Melissa Perez resumed Monday, where jury members watched body camera footage of that summer 2023 night and heard from an SAFD captain who responded to the scene.

Jurors also watched video showing Christopher Hudson, a captain with the San Antonio Fire Department, interacting with Perez in which she mentions cutting the wires to the fire alarm system, which triggered the police response early in the morning of June 23, 2023. The ex-officers' defense team asked Hudson if he would allow someone to be cared for by a person with mental decompensations as they sought to make the point that Perez shouldn't have had anyone in her care.

Hudson replied he would not.
