Legal issues
On February 1, 2015, Medina was arrested after he allegedly stabbed to death his 36-year-old house guest, Joshua Sutter, on January 31. Sutter had been stabbed in the abdomen with a Samurai sword at a home in Green Valley, west of Palmdale, California, and afterward Medina called the police. Upon arrival at a hospital, Sutter was pronounced dead. Medina was initially held on $1 million bail, but no charges were filed against him from the district attorney due to requests on further investigation and was released on February 3, 2015. Medina claimed that he stabbed Sutter in self-defense, after Sutter forced open the door of Medina's bedroom, in which Medina and his girlfriend retreated into after an argument between Medina and Sutter. Medina had lived in the home in Green Valley for approximately two months.
