Three San Antonio police officers are charged with murder after gunning down a woman inside her apartment early Friday, according to Chief William McManus.
The three officers were identified as Sgt. Alfred Flores , Officer Eleazar Alejandro , and Officer Nathaniel Villalobos .
Officers were called just after midnight for a disturbance of a woman destroying property. Chief McManus said she was cutting wires through a fire alarm system to the complex -- a felony of criminal mischief. One group of officers was at the front of the apartment, and three officers were stationed at the back patio of the apartment -- Flores, Alejandro and Villalobos.Soon after, two of the officers jumped the railing and got onto the patio, according to McManus. One of them said Pettis picked up a hammer and was “approaching them from inside.”
Pettis went toward the window again while still armed with the hammer, and all three officers opened fire, McManus said. She was hit by the gunfire at least two times. Three separate investigations will follow their arrests -- two from SAPD’s Internal Affairs and Homicide Unit and one from the DA’s Civil Rights Division.WARNING: The bodycam video may contain images that are disturbing to some individuals. Viewer discretion is advised.The bodycam video starts with one officer approaching Pettis in the apartment complex’s parking lot while she is out with her dog.Pettis then began walking away, and the officer pursued her and yelled, “Get over here.
