According to the Tarrant County inmate database, Perez was booked under case numbers 1849571 for murder and 1849573 for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Both entries indicate a “hold no-bond” status, meaning the defendant cannot secure release through bail while the case proceeds.
Court records show the cases have been assigned to the 485th District Court in Tarrant County.
The prosecution in the murder case is listed as Madeline Jones of the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office, while Melinda Hogan is listed as the prosecutor assigned to the aggravated assault case in court records.

Authorities have not publicly released additional details about the circumstances surrounding the alleged offenses, including when or where the incident occurred. DX is awaiting more information from the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Department.
The charges listed in court records are allegations, and Perez is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
