Medina, 61, was taken into custody following an hours-long standoff with law enforcement officers at his home in Torrance, just south of Los Angeles, according to the sheriff’s department.
He was charged with one count of murder by use of a firearms, and was due to be arraigned later on Wednesday, the county District Attorney’s Office said. A motive for the killing remained under investigation, but Luna said Medina is the husband of O’Connell’s housekeeper and had previously done work at the bishop’s home himself.“Every day he worked to show compassion to the poor, the homeless, to the immigrant, and to all those living on society’s margins. He was good priest,” Gomez told reporters on Monday.
O’Connell served as founder and chairman of a Catholic task force that helped scores of migrant who entered the United States without adult companions. He gained a reputation in the 1990s for seeking to repair relations between residents of riot-torn neighborhoods and law enforcement following the videotaped beating of Black motorist Rodney King by a group of white Los Angeles police officers, according to the Los Angeles Times.
