Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna has identified the suspect in the murder of Auxiliary Bishop David O’Connell as 65-year-old Carlos Medina.
Luna said Medina is the husband of O’Connell’s housekeeper and had previously done work at the bishop’s residence.
Luna said a search warrant was executed on Medina’s house early Monday morning but he refused to come out. Medina eventually surrendered and he was arrested around 8:15 a.m.
Detectives recovered two firearms at Medina’s residence, Luna said. Investigations are underway to determine if they were the same firearms used in O’Connell’s murder.
