(CNN) — La familia de Melissa Pérez, que fue abatida mortalmente en su casa por la policía de San Antonio en junio, presentó una demanda por homicidio culposo contra la ciudad y los tres agentes implicados, que fueron acusados de homicidio.La demanda afirma que las “políticas formales e informales del Departamento de Policía de San Antonio fueron determinantes en la muerte” de la mujer de 46 años. También afirma que las políticas del departamento de policía relativas a las llamadas de salud mental y la unidad de salud mental causaron la muerte de Pérez.Según la denuncia, “el hecho de que el departamento no disciplinara sistemáticamente a sus agentes creó una cultura de tolerancia hacia el uso indebido e inconstitucional de fuerza excesiva”.El encuentro de la policía con Pérez se produjo el 23 de junio después de que los agentes respondieran a una llamada sobre una mujer que cortaba los cables de un sistema de alarma contra incendios en su complejo de ap...

Boca Chica, Texas (CNN) — Con la imponente base de lanzamiento de SpaceX a sus espaldas, Justin LeClaire vio algo asombroso en un mosaico de hierba y llanuras arenosas de naturaleza protegida en el extremo sur de Texas, cerca del Golfo de México.“Tenemos un pájaro que está muy angustiado”, dijo el biólogo, deteniéndose en seco y mirando rápidamente por sus binoculares. “Lo que probablemente significa que tiene un nido aquí”.Según LeClaire, se trataba de un chorlitejo nival, una especie que ha disminuido rápidamente en la zona en los últimos cinco años, desde que SpaceX empezó a probar y lanzar cohetes allí. La torre de lanzamiento sobresale del prístino Parque Estatal de Boca Chica como un campanario futurista que puede verse desde más de 8 kilómetros en un día despejado.El controvertido lanzamiento y posterior explosión del cohete Starship de SpaceX, el más potente construido hasta la fecha, esparció restos del tamaño de pequeñas rocas por todo el deli...
