She shot another man, Uvaldo Perez, on 12 May 2017, while she was on duty. According to an affidavit in the case filed against Perez, police were looking for a suspect when Guyger and another officer were called to assist a third. Perez got out of a car and became combative with Guyger and another officer. A struggle began and Guyger fired her Taser at Perez, who wrested it away from her. She drew her gun and fired, wounding Perez in the abdomen. Guyger was not charged in the shooting.
