Antonio Medina, 19, of Glendale, Arizona, was one of three men discovered dead inside a burning SUV on Oakmont Street in Orange, California, on November 9, 2015. The vehicle had been set on fire, and all three victims had been shot multiple times; Medina was shot in the head. The killings happened in broad daylight in a residential area near Chapman University.
Investigators tied the murders to a dispute within the drug trade. Prosecutors say the deaths were part of an attempt to seize control of a lucrative drug-trafficking operation run by the Berrelleza brothers. Raul Gastellum Flores, 33, of Phoenix, Arizona, was convicted at trial of first-degree murder counts including the deaths of Medina, Fernando Meza, and Edgar Berrelleza-Soto; the court heard testimony that the victims had been bound, shot, and the vehicle set ablaze. Other suspects, including Alejandro Guerrero Ruiz, were charged or sought in connection with the plot, and some remain at large.
Did anyone in the Orange or Glendale communities know Antonio’s routines or have information about the people he associated with before November 9, 2015?
