MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — Accused Mobile Police officer killer Marco Perez, 24, has decided not to testify on his behalf during his trial.

On Monday, the trial continued in the murder case of undercover officer Sean Tuder, who was shot and killed in January 2019 at the Peach Place Inn.

Perez, 19 at the time, is accused of Tuder’s death. He announced Monday that he would not be taking the stand.

The prosecution is seeking the death penalty.

A resident at Peach Place Inn took the stand on Monday and described what he remembered happening that day.

The witness said he was standing in his doorway when he heard a commotion and gunshots. He said Perez fired multiple shots at Tuder once he was on the ground before running to a nearby wooded area.

The witness said Tuder had a badge, and once Tuder was on the ground, his gun fell out of his hand. The man testified he heard four shots.

Before the shooting, the witness said he saw Perez playing football with kids and that Perez had a gun on him at that time.

The next to take the stand was Mobile Police Homicide Detective Jermaine Rogers, who said off-duty officers wanting to work outside their normal hours must be approved by their supervisor. He said Tuder was approved by his supervisor.

His supervisor allegedly told Tuder to have a body camera with him, but he did not have one.

Patricia Linley, a ballistics expert with the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences, was the last person to testify Monday. She testified that a Smith and Wesson semi-automatic handgun was used in the shooting.

A Ring doorbell camera allegedly captured a 10-11-second pause between the first and second shots.

During Linley’s cross-examination, it was determined that she listened to the Ring camera after she had released her report.

While Linley said the gun could have jammed or that the magazine could have fallen out, she said there is no sure way to know what caused the time delay between shots.

Closing arguments in the case are expected to take place Tuesday.
