Carlos Medina has admitted to murdering Bishop David O’Connell

Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón announced at a press conference on Wednesday that Carlos Medina, the husband of Los Angeles Auxiliary Bishop David O’Connell’s housekeeper, had confessed to the murder of the bishop.

Gascón stated that Medina admitted to the killing and that the weapon used in the murder had been recovered, along with other evidence from the crime scene. The bishop had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

Medina was not motivated by money, according to detectives, despite an initial tip suggesting that the suspect believed O’Connell owed him money. The bishop was found dead in his Hacienda Heights home on Saturday, and authorities launched an intensive manhunt for the killer.

Detectives identified Medina as a person of interest on Sunday evening after a tipster reported that he was displaying strange and irrational behavior and had made comments about the bishop owing him money. He was arrested on Monday morning and charged on Wednesday.

During the press conference, Gascón revealed that there was no forced entry to O’Connell’s residence, and it was assumed that Medina had used a key or some other form of access. If convicted, Medina faces 35 years to life in prison.

The former foreign minister shared joyful pictures of herself at an event hosted by the Mineral Resources mining services company on Instagram. According to reports, Ms. Bishop, 65, and her longtime lover David Panton, 61, broke up over dinner on July 1 at a restaurant in Sydney’s central business area. She was all smiles and seemed carefree in the photos shared on Monday night after speaking at a Mineral Resources professional development session. She captioned the photographs, saying, “Addressing employee grads at Mineral Resources’ professional development program, sharing my career story, the sliding-door moments plus a few tips!” Since late June, when she shared images of herself and Mr. Panton dining with Prince Charles in London, Ms. Bishop had not posted anything on Instagram.

At the event, which was held in memory of the late diplomat Dr. John Gee, Argentinian Mr. Grossi served as the main speaker. Since her breakup four nights prior, Ms. Bishop had not been seen in public until that moment. She made her first public appearance with Mr. Panton in 2014. Since then, the two have been seen together at a variety of occasions, including Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough’s wedding in 2018. When Mr. Panton declared that the relationship had reached its end on July 1, the couple went out to supper, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
