BREAKING: The husband of a Catholic bishop's housekeeper has been charged with the clergyman's murder, officials said.
reported that detectives reviewed surveillance video that showed an SUV similar to one Medina is known to drive had been at the bishop's home. Police also found two firearms and"other evidence possibly linking Medina to the crime," according to CBS Sacramento.
Medina was arrested after an hours-long standoff with deputies, according to CBS Sacramento. Medina's wife is fully cooperating with the investigation, CBS Sacramento reported. O'Connell, who was born in Ireland, served the Los Angeles community for nearly"half a century," Gascón said, working with multiple congregations, immigrants, communities impacted by gang violence, and more since he was ordained in the district in 1979.
"This was a brutal act of violence against a person who has dedicated a life to making our neighborhood safer, healthier and always serving with love and compassion," Gascón said."This is an incredible loss, not only for the church but for our entirely community ... Charging Mr. Medina will never repair the tremendous harm that was caused by this callous act but it does take one step closer to accountability.
