Are 3 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: they in position to start? Do we know? I don't 4 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: see anything on the Facebook page or the TV, so nothing. Okay. 5 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: If we can get audio of this, we will will 6 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: bring it to you. It's a really peculiar story. It's 7 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: the murder of a bishop, Catholic Bishop David O'Connell. He 8 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: was killed Saturday afternoon in Hacienda Heights. He lived alone 9 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: in a home owned by the archdiocese and he was 10 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: found dead with a gunshot wound in his torso in 11 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: his bed, and immediately they were law enforcement was suspicious 12 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: because there were no signs of fourth entry. This happened 13 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: on Jen Lou Avenue, and the crime was believed not 14 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: to be random, so it wasn't. They didn't suspect it 15 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: was a guy who broke in to rob the place 16 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: and ended up killing the bishop. It was somebody who 17 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: wanted to kill the bishop. Now the suspect, according to 18 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: all news reports, is a man who was we'll get 19 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: to that in a second later apprehended in Torrance and 20 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: as the husband of a woman who worked in the 21 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 1: home for the bishop. And there's a story that comes 22 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: from the La Daily News. The Daily Mail is picked 23 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: it up at a London that they and Channel four. 24 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: I'm just piecing all these together. The man was identified 25 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: early on through unnamed technical means, whatever that is. They 26 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: went down to Torrance. There was a standoff in Torrance 27 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: from midnight till about nine in the morning. He was 28 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: barricaded inside the house. And remember he was married to 29 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: the woman who worked for the bishop. His name is 30 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: Carlos Medina, according to neighbors, and so Medina was in 31 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: the house for hours overnight into the morning on Kenwood 32 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: Avenue in Taurus, Torrence. He's barricaded and he was definitely armed. 33 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: One neighbor said that he told that La Daily News 34 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: reporter Claire Harder that Harder was an odd man in 35 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: his fifties who was up at all hours of the 36 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: night digging in his yard. Another neighbor, Marty Hernandez, said, 37 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm just shocked and overwhelmed. You wouldn't know that you 38 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: have somebody that lives next to your house that would 39 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: do such a thing. This started when deputies received a 40 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 1: call that a person was not breathing at the address 41 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: and that's when they found him dead in the bed. 42 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: Let's see here, there's also was there's video. There's video 43 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: of his property where there's just tons of junk scattered about, 44 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: and I'm looking at Clara Harder's Twitter feed. They talked 45 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: to the neighbors, Luis Lopez. They said the suspect's wife 46 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: was a devout Catholic and new Bishop David O'Connell and 47 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: they lived about five years on Kenwood Avenue. They said 48 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: he was a good man, average man, very talkative. And 49 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: then the video was on Clara Harder's site, just showing 50 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: the incredible amounts of just garbage and junk, pipes, bikes, buckets, tools, 51 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: plotted plants. The neighbor, Marty Hernandez, says he, oh, he 52 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: seemed like an odd person, always on the go in 53 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: a rush and digging stuff, often in the middle of 54 00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: the night. So something something said at him off and 55 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: we are waiting on the press conference. He was pronounced 56 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: dead at the scene. Nobody heard a gunshot or any 57 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: other unusual noise in the neighborhood and the police figured 58 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: this out fairly quickly. O'Connell was a founder and chairman 59 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: of the SoCal Immigration Task Force, which is a group 60 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: of dioceses that help children who come to the US 61 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 1: without adult companionship, the unaccompanied minors, the illegal immigrants, and 62 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: that was his big issue. He also tried to build 63 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: bridges between residents of neighborhoods that were destroyed in the 64 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: riots of nineteen ninety two after the Rodney King beating 65 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: connections between people in those neighborhoods and local law enforcement. 66 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: The La County Sheriff Bert Luna called the bishop a peacemaker. 67 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: So who why he would if this is the killer, 68 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: why he angered the husband of this woman? Is really 69 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: odd unless this is just like all the other murders 70 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: we've had lately, like the two mass killings, the one 71 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: that was in uh it was in Monterey Park and 72 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: the one at half Moon Bay. It's just crazy. Old 73 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: guy goes off finally without any explanation. So how are 74 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: we doing on press conference? Nothing yet? Nothing yet? This 75 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: is they never get the press conference. It's on time, 76 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: So we'll get to that when we have a chance. 77 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: I want to spend some time on this. Uh. This 78 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: story doesn't affect anybody here, obviously, but it it it's 79 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: it's just a sign of just like nothing nothing, nothing works. Right, Um, 80 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: you know the train derailment in Ohio, Right, you've probably 81 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: seen that story, you know the basics of it. There 82 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: was a train rumbling through East Palestine, Ohio, in the 83 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: middle of the nights, right on the Pennsylvania border. It's 84 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: been two weeks since that happened. And there was a 85 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: huge chemical fire when the train derailed, and then they 86 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: tried to burn off the rest of the chemicals that 87 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: leaked out of the train, and that was that just 88 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: brought this this toxic gas. They think it was like 89 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: phosgene gas, which they used in World War One to 90 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: kill people. But when you when you burn vinyl chloride, 91 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: that's what you get. And the government went there and 92 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: burned more phosgene gas. And Pete Buddha Jedge, who is 93 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: nearly as useless as Kamala Harris, he hasn't visited the 94 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: site and he hasn't said anything intelligent about it. And 95 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: all the people in Palestine don't believe the government. The 96 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: government's trying to claim the waters find the air is fine, 97 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: and the residents are saying, well, we camp breathe, our 98 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: throat is burning, we've got rashes and our animals are dying. Okay, 99 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: we're gonna go to this prescot.

On Saturday, February eighteenth, at approximately 124 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: one pm, the Industry Sheriff's Station deputies responded to a 125 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: person not breathing rescue call in the fifteen hundred block 126 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: of Jan Lu Avenue in the city of Acienda Heights. 127 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: Deputies and paramedics arrived at the residence and a mail 128 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: was pronounced the scene. Deceased at that scene at that time. 129 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: While at the location, it was discovered that the mail 130 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: was Auxiliary Bishop David O'Connell. Bishop O'Connell sustained at least 131 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: one gunshot wound to the upper body while in the 132 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: bedroom of his residence at the time. The cause of 133 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: death was unclear to our detectives, but appeared suspicious in nature. 134 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: A firearm was not recovered at the scene and there 135 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: was no forced entry into the bishop's residence. Homicide investigators 136 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: were called and responded to the scene. U On arrival, 137 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: they reviewed evidence, conducted interviews, and canvass the neighborhood for 138 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: surveillance video footage. Early Sunday morning, investigators from the Los 139 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: Angeles County Corner's Office arrived on scene and began their 140 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: investigation alongside the detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, 141 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: at which time it was determined that Bishop O'Connell's this 142 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: incident was a murder. It was now a murder investigation. 143 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: Later that morning, detectives discovered surveillance footage that showed a 144 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: vehicle that had pulled into the bishop's driveway, stayed for 145 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: a short time, and left the location. The vehicle was 146 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: described as a dark colored Compact SUV. Sunday evening, at 147 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: approximately seven pm, detectives received a tip that there was 148 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: a person of interest who resided in the city of Torrance. 149 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: The person of interest was identified as Carlos Medina, a 150 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: sixty five year old male Hispanic. Detectives were told by 151 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: the tipster that they were concerned because Medina was acting strange, irrational, 152 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: and made comments about the bishop owing him money. Medina 153 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: is the husband of Bishop O'Donnell or I'm sorry, Medina's 154 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: the husband of Bishop O'Connell's housekeeper who was previously who 155 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: has previously done work at the bishop's residence, and drove 156 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: a similar suv to the one previously seen in the 157 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: driveway of the bishop's residence. So just to confirm this 158 00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: is the husband of the bishop's housekeeper and the suspect 159 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: had previously done work around the bishop's residence. Detectives learned 160 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: Medina's residence in the two four hundred block of Kenwood 161 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: Avenue in the city of Torrance. A tipster told detectives 162 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: Medina had left Los Angeles County and was believed to 163 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: be in the central California area. Detectives authored a warrant 164 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: for Medina's arrest and a search warrant for his residence. 165 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: Homicide investigators served a warrant with the assistance of our 166 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: Major Crimes Bureau detectives. At approximately two am this morning, 167 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: we were alerted by a community member that Medina had 168 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: returned to his residence. Carson Sheriff's stationed deputies, along with 169 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:55,239 Speaker 1: our Major Crime Bureau detectives, contained the location and conducted 170 00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: callouts for Medina to surrender, but he refused. He refused 171 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: to come out of his residence. The original search warrant 172 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: for his residence was amended by detectives, which enabled our 173 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,599 Speaker 1: Special Enforcement Bureau to enter the location to arrest Medina 174 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: and search his home. This morning, our Special Enforcement Bureau 175 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: personnel arrived on scene and took over the tactical operation. 176 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: Additional callouts were made to Medina to surrender, and at 177 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: approximately eight fifteen this morning, Medina exited his residence and 178 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: was taken into custody without further incident. As a result 179 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: of the second search warrant, detectives recovered two firearms and 180 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: other evidence possibly linking Medina to the crime. The firearms 181 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: will need to be examined and tested by our crime 182 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: lab to determine if either of those firearms were used 183 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: in the murder. As I have previous previously stated, my 184 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: heart grieves UM. Although I personally did not know the bishop, 185 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: I cannot tell you how many phone calls I've received 186 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: over the last forty eight hours of people who have 187 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: worked with him in different capacities and UH, this man, 188 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: this bishop, made a huge difference in our community. He 189 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: was loved and UH and it's and it's very sad 190 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: that were gathered here today to talk about his murder 191 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: in this way. Um, he's been a pillar in our 192 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: community known as a peacemaker passion, a passion for serving 193 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: those in need. And you'll hear more about that as 194 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: other partners of mine that are here beside me, we'll 195 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: get up and talk. I do want to spend a 196 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: couple of minutes here because I don't want this to 197 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: be overshadowed, as tragic as it is to be talking 198 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: about the murder of Bishop O'Connell. Our detectives for the 199 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department are homicide detectives, are major 200 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: crimes detectives, and everyone else involved in an amazing job. 201 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: If you look at the way I laid this story out, 202 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: it was non stop work. There's people around me who 203 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: haven't slept, and I really applaud them for their professionalism. 204 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: And I got to tell you, I couldn't be more 205 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: proud of them as I'm reporting their good work to 206 00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: all of you today. But as I stated earlier, we 207 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: wanted to wait a little bit more to give you 208 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: as much detailed information as we could. But there is 209 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: information that Unfortunately, we will not give out in detail 210 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: at this time because the next step is to present 211 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: all of the evidence that we have gathered and try 212 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: to get a criminal prosecution on Medina. So I just 213 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: want to make sure that's known. Keeping the integrity this 214 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: investigations of priority, and like I said, we'll going to 215 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: open it up to questions here after all of my 216 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: partners speak, but um, we'll be very disciplined about what 217 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: we can answer or not. There's also another factor I 218 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: talked about the the excellent work by our homicide detectives. 219 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think i'd be standing in front 220 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: of you within forty eight of this crime if it 221 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: wasn't for the members of our community who came forward 222 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: and helped us along the way and gave us tips. 223 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: When we talk about the fact that we're more effective 224 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: as a department reducing crime in partnership with the community, 225 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: this is a perfect example. We had people from different 226 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: locations that gave us information that helped us solve this crime, 227 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 1: and they will continue to do so. But at the 228 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: same time, I urge anybody that has more information about 229 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: anything they may know about Medina, any of his activities, 230 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: to please come forward, and as other speakers talk about 231 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: Bishop the Bishop, you'll you'll see why we need to 232 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: do this as a community to move forward with his legacy. 233 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: So with that, I will turn it over to the 234 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: next speaker, our state Senator, and then again I'll come 235 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: back up here to answer questions that any of you 236 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: may have. Thank you well, Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. 237 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: I'm Senator Bob Archiletta, and let me begin by offering 238 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: my condolences from the Governor, my colleagues, and Sacramento, everyone 239 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: in the County of Los Angeles, throughout this state and 240 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: in reality, throughout the nation. The calls are coming in 241 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: as you will hear it later from those that will 242 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: be speaking, the calls will continue. He has touched all 243 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: of us, our Bishop, and I say our Bishop, your bishop, 244 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: because in my community of Pique Rivera, he's served at 245 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: Saint Hilary's, he's served in Long Beach, he's served throughout 246 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: this county. Everywhere he went, whether it be in East 247 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: Los Angeles or here in the suburbs, wherever it was, 248 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: the bishops touched everyone. And I know that each and 249 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: every one of you that are here today realize that 250 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 1: Bishop O'Connell has touched you as well. And my personal 251 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: story is I went to Salesian High School, a Catholic 252 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: high school in East Los Angeles where the Bishop has visited, 253 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: others have been there, and he had the ability to 254 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: walk the streets everywhere he went bringing people together. They're clear, Okay, 255 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna cut away now because we wanted 256 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: to get the part about the facts of the crime. 257 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: And it looks like they're gonna understandably spend a lot 258 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: of time eulogizing the bishop there. But if you're just 259 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: joining us. We just had the sheriff, Robert Luna on 260 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: and he was describing the circumstances of the crime. They 261 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: have a suspect. He's been arrested, Carlos Medina. He is 262 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: the husband of a woman who worked with the bishop 263 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: for the bishop and the house that the bishop lived 264 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: in in Hacienda Heights, and according to the story, the 265 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 1: husband did some work for the bishop and I maybe 266 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: there was a pay dispute. I think that that's what 267 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: was discuss We're gonna get Steve gregoron maybe he's got 268 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: some more details, but it was somebody who knew the 269 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: bishop and apparently this guy was an odd character in 270 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: the neighborhood, Carlos Medina. His neighbors found him kind of 271 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: weird and had a lot of junk on in his 272 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: property and he spent a lot of time digging. So 273 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: I guess he had some kind of dispute, blanked it 274 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: on the bishop and then went and shot him. So 275 00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: we'll get more of that coming up. Uh and uh, 276 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,719 Speaker 1: whenever Steve's available, let me know and we'll put him 277 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: on the air to the flesh out his story. They 278 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: the key to breaking the case though, was there was 279 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: video of somebody in a dark colored suv that rolled 280 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: up on the driveway and then left, so the police 281 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: could track the suv and that's why they were able 282 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:30,959 Speaker 1: to to quickly to find Medina, and he was barricaded 283 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: inside his house for quite a while. They had a 284 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: swat team on the scene before he was finally coaxed 285 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 1: out and gave up um. It sounds like he boiled 286 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: over from a personal dispute, but we don't know that 287 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: for sure. Another weird thing that happened over the weekend 288 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: as a man was found dead inside a burning motor 289 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: home Saturday morning. I Plia del Rey. This is along 290 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: the Belogna Wetlands, and I got you know I've told 291 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 1: you about Tracy park who's the new council member on 292 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: the West side, replacing Mike Bonnen. She just sent out 293 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: her newsletter the email over the weekend and I saw 294 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: in one of her top stories to show what she's 295 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: doing is she took a local I think State Senator 296 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: Ben Allen, a Democrat from Santa Monica, on a tour 297 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: of the Belogna Wetlands. So she has promised that's the 298 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: next thing she's going to handle. There's there's a sixty 299 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: or more RVs parked all along the wetlands, and those 300 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: people have made it such a foul, disgusting, horrific mess. 301 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: Just so much garbage and so much human waste and 302 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: just fires that they've had. It's heartbreaking because the Belogna Wetlands, 303 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,959 Speaker 1: there's not too many protected wetlands left in the general 304 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: Los Angeles area. This is one of the few reserves. 305 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: It's bird sanctuary and just all kinds of wildlife and vegetation, 306 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: and why it's been allowed to be destroyed is just 307 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: shocking to me that that Mike Bonnen and Eric Arsetti 308 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: allowed so much damage to happen to this and this 309 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: environmental preserve. But the latest was there's a burning motor home. 310 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: It's implied delray on Jefferson Boulevard right on the edge 311 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: of the reserve. Yeah, the Bologna Wetlands Ecological Reserve. That's 312 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 1: that's the formal name of it. Motor home in flames. 313 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: And then they found a guy dead inside and the 314 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: calling it accidental death. I mean, who knows what he 315 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: was doing. A lot of these people like propane heaters. 316 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: Some of them are cooking meth um. It's just intolerable. 317 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: So hope, hopefully Tracy's gonna get all those RV's removed. 318 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: They actually part of the part of the COVID nonsense 319 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: was RVs could not be moved to impounded. Just shocking. 320 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: These are people who were not at risk of dying 321 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: from COVID and you could, you could. You couldn't force 322 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: there RVs out of an ecological reserve. Yeah, unbelievable, all right. 323 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: According to the lawsuit, um in reality, King has a 324 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: bank account, she claims, which shows a balance of only 325 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: eleven dollars and ninety eight cents, claiming she spent all 326 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: the money and has no money left to her name. 327 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: Of course, some of that money might be in one 328 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 1: of those British Virgin Islands. Um. She what she did is, oh, 329 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: here's here's how she sold these loans to the to 330 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: the financing company. She claimed that her customers were former NHL, 331 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: NBA and Major League Baseball players, and she had these photos, 332 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: you know, to prove her connections. So this British Virgin 333 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: Islands company thought, well, this woman's got connections with very 334 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: wealthy people, so we could trust we're going to get 335 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: the loans paid back.

That's right anyway, that's that's that's the crook 383 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: in Newport Beach. Sarah King, if you know her, probably 384 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: owes your money. Ken is away today and I was 385 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: telling you about this this woman, Sarah King, who in 386 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: Newport Beach she's an attorney, and she started she scammed 387 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: ten million dollars out of some company in the Virgin 388 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: Islands and also scammed it looks like hundreds of thousands 389 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: of dollars from her friends, claiming that she had a 390 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: loan business and she had ninety seven loans that she 391 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: needed to finance and she'd be the middleman. And she 392 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,239 Speaker 1: blew it all on Las Vegas at this especially at 393 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: the Win Massive suites, and you know, indulged in every 394 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: possible shopping spreeze and all the money's gone, and now 395 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: she's getting sued over it. I don't know what does 396 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: it take to get charged criminally for something like that. 397 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: But there's there's another scam story out of Orange County. 398 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: A man Mustafak Khadiri of Irvine. He obtained fraudulently five 399 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: million dollars in pandemic relief loans. Now that's our money, 400 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: and spent the money on lavish vacations, luxury sports cards, 401 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: and all his other expenses. And he got sentenced on 402 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: Friday to four and a half years in prison. Submitted 403 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: loan applications to the Paycheck Protection Program. Remember that during COVID, 404 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: the PPP and the money's supposed to prevent law employee 405 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: layoffs and you had to spend it on payroll or 406 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: rent or mortgage payments or utilities. Instead, he spent it 407 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: on a wild time. He filed the applications on behalf 408 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: of fourth separate Newport Beach companies again with the Duport Beach, 409 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: none of the which were in operation. So there's four 410 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: fake companies. Basically, he he UH had fake employee numbers, UH, 411 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: fake bank bank balances, and fake tax returns. And then 412 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: he started purchasing luxury cars a Ferrari, a Bentley, a Lamborghini. 413 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: This isn't much different from what this UH woman Sarah 414 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: King was doing. They got the cars back and two 415 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: million from his accounts. Federal grand jury indicted him and 416 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: he eventually he pleaded guilty to bank fraud, aggravated identity theft, 417 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: and money laundering. You know, it's it's it's funny, it's 418 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: it's if he had access to that kind of money, 419 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: Like I don't have that desire to buy a bunch 420 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: of sports cars. I don't know if I suddenly was 421 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: able to access you know, five million dollars or ten 422 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: million dollars, I wouldn't blow it. On Las Vega. I 423 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't blow it on a bunch of sports cars. I 424 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: don't know what I would do with it. But I've 425 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: never understood these people. I guess it's to show off 426 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: their luxury to everyone, is it? Is it because they 427 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: to compensate for the terrible self esteem? Did their parents 428 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: tell them all throughout childhood they were they were where 429 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: they were worthless and useless, and they got degraded so 430 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: badly that eventually they had to prove to the world 431 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: that they could drive a fancy car. I don't. I 432 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: don't really, I just don't have that gene in me. 433 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: I just never really understood he of course, in court 434 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: he was described by his friends as a carrying and 435 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: generous man who grew up under his mother, an Afghanistan immigrant, 436 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: and his father died when he was a child, So 437 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: I guess there must have been some some terrible psychological 438 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: whole that he was trying to fill, And then he 439 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: was an alcoholic in recent years. I caused him to 440 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: lose his way, that's what the friends said. That's losing 441 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: your way. Losing your way as a ripping off the 442 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: government for five million dollars. By the way, in that 443 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: moment when the application arrived at the Paycheck Protection Program 444 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: office in Washington, at that exact moment, there was an employee. 445 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: Did they check to see if any of these companies 446 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: were actually in business? Did they look at any of 447 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: the employees? I mean he filled out all the forms, 448 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: he had, you know, all these numbers of employees, and 449 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: he had bank balances, and he had tax returns and 450 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: and and nothing is checked. I don't know how how 451 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: they got tipped off, but I'm surprised in the moment, 452 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: this isn't this isn't stopped. And they now they're admitting 453 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: we knew this was going on in California. The Feds 454 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: are admitting there's been rampant fraud with all these COVID programs. 455 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: Well every everything, everything goes back to that hysteria. But 456 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: but well he's going to be in prison and now 457 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: for for four and a half years. Uh.
