Framing
Pérez framed four members of the Temple Street gang as being associated with killing Mexican Mafia member Miguel "Lizard" Malfavon. This whole incident happened at a McDonalds on Alvarado street, where four supposed members all planned to kill him while he tried to collect "taxes" from the gang. Pérez found a material witness who had blood on her dress and she named four gang members all from Temple Street. He repeatedly changed the main killer and ended up framing Anthony "Stymie" Adams as the one who fatally shot Malfavon in the head with a rifle in the neighboring apartment.
