A television crew from the Spanish-language program "That's the Way It Happened" was invited by Nunez to be interviewed at the grave site of his daughter, Yoandra, who committed suicide on Thanksgiving Day 1992. When Nunez's ex-wife and Yoandra's mother,
Maritza Martin Munoz, appeared, he went to his car, grabbed a gun, and shot her 12 times at point-blank range. Nunez blamed Martin for Yoandra's death; she wrote in her suicide note that she did not want to live anymore because she was not the daughter her mother wanted her to be.
