Early life

Ricardo Medina Jr. was born in Kern County, California, and raised in Downey, California. He is of Puerto Rican descent.
Legal issues

On February 1, 2015, Medina was arrested after he allegedly stabbed to death his 36-year-old roommate, Joshua Sutter, on January 31. Sutter had been stabbed in the abdomen with a medieval "Conan the Barbarian" type 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. On March 16, 2017, Medina pleaded guilty to One felony count of voluntary manslaughter, is set to be sentenced on March 30th and expected to serve a maximum of six years in prison.
