The 45-year-old mother of five was stabbed to death in her East LA home, in front of her five children after she told her boyfriend she wanted to break up, a family friend told FOX 11.
Deputies responded to the 100 block of South Townsend Avenue just before 8 p.m. Sept. 30 after receiving a call of an assault with a deadly weapon.
According to family, Medina was stabbed by her live-in-boyfriend, who the Sheriff's Department is not officially identifying at this time. Medina was stabbed repeatedly in front of her five children ages 3, 11, 13, 15 and 18, along with the 18-year-old's close friend. The friend spoke to FOX 11 about what she witnessed, and FOX 11 is shielding her identity for safety.
"She just didn't want to be with him anymore because she didn't feel safe," the friend said "She hadn't slept for three days straight, and she always told her kids to keep an eye on him to see if he would do anything to he." "We do not feel safe at all," said the friend."It's a shame the system is supposed to help us and unless they see blood, then they're not there.
