DeSOTO – A Dallas ISD teacher killed in a confrontation with DeSoto police earlier this week had been released from their jail hours earlier.

"Our officers were called to one of our local parks and interacted with a subject who was acting irrationally, and knocking over trash cans and was littering. He was taken into custody. And he was placed in our sort of regional jail. That subject was Michael Nunez, age 47."

DeSoto Police Chief Joseph Costa told reporters today that his officers couldn't say whether Nunez was on drugs or having a mental health crisis. But what is clear is that the Molina High School special education teacher's life was unraveling.
