Polanco is currently still in custody on a $1 million bond.

Polanco was arrested on Feb. 25 after calling Mission police on himself and saying he "thought he may have killed" his friend.

Mission police said they found 44-year-old Jose Calendario Moreno dead at a home on Nueces Street; he was stabbed to death.

Police say Polanco may have been under the influence of drugs when he was arrested.
