Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies told ABC Los Angeles that Medina called 911 Saturday afternoon to report a stabbing at his home in Green Valley, California. Deputies say that the 36-year-old got into an argument with his roommate, Joshua Sutter, 36, and it turned physical. Sutter allegedly followed Medina and his girlfriend into Medina's bedroom and forced the door open; Medina then stabbed him with a sword he kept in the room. Sutter died at the hospital, and Medina was booked for murder and held in lieu of $1 million bail.
