FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Three men, including the leader of the Palm Beach County chapter of the Latin Kings gang and his son, were arrested Monday in connection with an assault on rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine at an LA Fitness gym in Lake Worth Beach last week, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said.
They are accused of assaulting the rapper in the men’s locker room, then stealing his phone, his Balenciaga shoes, and the key to his Lamborghini, according to a probable cause affidavit.
The men are Rafael Medina Jr., 43, his son, Octavious Medina, 23; and Anthony Maldonado, 25. They face charges of assault and robbery, the Sheriff’s Office said in a news release late Thursday, and had their first appearance in Palm Beach County Court Friday morning.
