Prosecutors have charged a man with killing a Catholic bishop in a crime that stunned religious and immigrant communities in Los Angeles.

Auxiliary Bishop David O’Connell, 69, was fatally shot multiple times on Saturday in the bedroom of his home in Hacienda Heights, an unincorporated community about 20 miles (30km) east of downtown Los Angeles.

The suspect, Carlos Medina, is the husband of O’Connell’s housekeeper. Medina had done work at the bishop’s home and was arrested Monday by a Swat team.

Medina has a lengthy history of personal drug use arrests and convictions from 2005 to 2017, and detectives are investigating whether he had been using narcotics at the time of the killing, according to law enforcement sources.

Medina has narcotics arrests in 2005, 2007, 2011 and 2017, according to law enforcement officials not authorized to discuss his criminal history. At least two of the convictions were for drug possession, but the handyman did not have a history of violent arrests.
