Medina, who is the husband of Bishop's housekeeper, was arrested Monday.O'Connell was killed in a shooting that happened just before 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 18 at his home in the 1500 block of Janlu Avenue in Hacienda Heights. There were no signs of forced entry, authorities said.
According to investigators with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, O'Connell suffered at least one gunshot wound to his upper body and was pronounced dead at the scene. Medina had previously done work at O'Connell's home, according to LA County Sheriff Robert Luna, and claimed the bishop owed him money. Medina also drove a compact SUV similar to the one seen on surveillance video leaving the driveway of the bishop's home Sunday morning.
Medina was taken into custody after a standoff with authorities at his Torrance home located in the 20400 block of S. Kenwood Avenue. Two firearms were recovered at Medina's home, as well as other evidence possibly linking him to O'Connell's murder, Luna said. The firearms needed to be tested by the crime lab to see if either was used in the bishop's murder.
