He is best known for his role as Cole Evans, the Red Wild Force Ranger, on the television series Power Rangers Wild Force. He is of Puerto Rican descent. 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.
On January 14, 2016, he was arrested again on murder charges in connection with Sutter"s death.
If convicted of the charge, Medina faces a possible sentence of life imprisonment with a chance of parole after 26 years. Prosecutors planned to ask that Medina would be held on $1 million bail. He will be arraigned on January 19, 2016.
