Husband of LA bishop’s housekeeper arrested in slaying of beloved cleric

LOS ANGELES — Authorities have arrested the husband of a woman who worked as a housekeeper for Bishop David G. O'Connell in connection with the slaying of the beloved Los Angeles cleric, officials said Monday.

L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna identified Carlos Medina, 65, as the suspect in the slaying. He did not cite a motive but said a tipster had told authorities that Medina was acting strangely after the killing and claimed the bishop owned him money.

Luna said detectives connected Medina to the crime from a video that showed a vehicle at the O'Connell home about the time of the killing. Weapons were found at his home but Luna said ballistic tests are still pending.
