Oral Nunis Sr. died in March 2020 during a mental health crisis. Nunis had no drugs or alcohol in his system. He was dead within 20 minutes of police arriving.Nunis' children and ex-wife now look to hold the Chula Vista Police Department and several of the officers accountable who responded to the 911 call from Nunis' daughter, Kimone, on March 13, 2020, while her dad was experiencing suicidal ideations.

Kimone Nunis told CBS 8 that she woke up the night of March 12 to her father screaming in terror. Kimone, a 13-year active veteran in the Navy who works in crisis situations, told 911 operators that her father was trying to jump from her second-story window. "He didn't say who he was. He never stopped and tried to defuse a situation or just introduce himself and say, 'Hey, I'm here, is everyone okay?' He just kept saying, 'It's policy,'" she said.It resumed 34 seconds later.Warning: This video contains graphic and violent content.

Officers then handcuffed him and placed a maximum restrain device on Mr. Nunis called the WRAP . As Mr. Nunis grew more disorientated and he began to drool, an officer placed a spit sock over his head.
