LIVE Sheriff Luna said it’s not clear if there actually was a dispute between bishop and the suspect, though Medina had made claims about being owed money
The suspect in the shooting death was identified as Carlos Medina, 65, of Torrance. Medina is described as the husband of the bishop's housekeeper and was described as acting irrationally and claiming the bishop owed him money.
Bishop David O'Connell was found dead over the weekend in Hacienda Heights. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, deputies responded to a medical emergency call on the 1500 block of Janlu Avenue just before 1 p.m. Saturday. When detectives arrived and contacted Medina initially he did not want to surrender. But after several hours, he emerged from the residence around 8:15 a.m. and was taken into custody without further incident.
Let us continue to pray for Bishop Dave and his family. And let us pray for law enforcement officials as they continue their investigation into this terrible crime."
