A Molina high school teacher shot by a Desoto Police Department officer may have been committing a crime – not teaching.
Michael Christopher Nunez, 47, was a teacher at Dallas Independent School District‘s Moises E. Molina High School. He was fatally shot on Monday morning in connection to a burglary investigation.
It is unclear why Mr. Nunez was not at school, but at Desoto dispatched officers to 300 block of Polk Street in DeSoto at 11:40AM Monday.
They were sent to investigate a reported robbery when they encountered Mr. Nunez.
A 911 caller stated a man had entered the caller’s residence with an “unknown item.” A Desoto police officer fired at Nunez as he advanced toward the officer.
