Funeral services are scheduled to begin Wednesday for Auxiliary Bishop David O’Connell, a beloved fixture in Los Angeles who was shot to death last month. Here’s how to watch live:
Since his death, community members and public officials have paid tribute to O’Connell, whom they recalled as compassionate, especially to immigrants and other marginalized people.
"Every day he worked to show compassion to the poor, to the homeless, to the immigrant and to all those living on society’s margins. He was a good priest, a good bishop and a man of peace, and we are very sad to lose him," Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez said. O’Connell was found dead Feb. 18 at his archdiocese-owned home in Hacienda Heights. Authorities said he had been shot multiple times in the upper torso.
The accused killer is 61-year-old Carlos Medina, the husband of O’Connell’s housekeeper. Michael Modica, a lieutenant with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, said Medina provided various reasons for the slaying, none of which"made any sense" to investigators. As such, detectives"don't believe there's any validity” to Medina’s alleged claims that the bishop owed him money, Modica said.
Medina is charged with murdering O’Connell. Investigators have not yet established a possible motive for the killing.
