A&E presents documentary with roots in Seguin Ruben Perez and the Chicano Squad Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – TV viewers will want to note the role that one Seguin native plays in the recently released A&E documentary series Chicano Squad. The two-episode documentary, rated one of the top shows today, originally premiered Sept. 2-3 and chronicles the work, sacrifice, and determination of the first-ever Latin homicide investigative unit purposely pulled together in 1979 to tackle the hundreds of unsolved murders in Houston’s Latin neighborhoods. Among those who worked alongside the team in the DA’s
office was Segunite Ruben Perez, who at the time had just come on board serving as a city of Houston assistant attorney. Perez is now a Harris County Assistant District Attorney who serves as the Special Crimes Bureau Chief. Although he credits all the work to the bilingual patrol officers who were pulled off their beats to work as detectives, Perez says he feels honored to have seen this revolutionized community policing team come together and surpass the Houston PD’s expectations.
