Now while the street reports are that Medina was shot to the head, the police have a different account. We spoke to Southside Commander Chester Williams today and he told us that Medina was shot to the neck and stomach. Williams gave us more details about the investigation so far. 

ACP Chester Williams - Regional Commander, Eastern Division South
"He was approached by 4 male persons in a Mitsubishi Montero Sport and from that vehicle someone fired multiple shots at him which caught him to the neck and abdomen and he was transported to the hospital and he succumbed to his injuries."

Daniel Ortiz
"Do police have any ideas at this time, any leads as to why this gentleman was murdered in this fashion?"

ACP Chester Williams - Regional Commander, Eastern Division South
"Well I don't really want to go into the character of the deceased but the persons who are suspect at this time; we are pursuing them, they are the same persons who were the suspects in the stabbing at the ITVET during the Soca Fest or whatever they had at ITVET. So we are pursuing them at this time, we have one of them in custody already. The vehicle we know who the vehicle belong to, there are certain things found inside the vehicle that will lead us to other person who may have been involved and we are pursuing them at this time."

As you heard, the police have significant leads in this case. We understand 3 persons detained while one person turned himself in late this evening.
