Cops discovered the woman's body in the home, where her 10-year-old daughter was also found. The little girl wasn't physically hurt and police covered her in a blanket as they led her out of the home.
Medina appeared in court handcuffed in a white prison jumpsuit and confessed to the killing and subsequent social media post, but claimed it was in self-defense.
Medina's father spoke out in defense of his son, saying: "He just said his wife picked up a knife, they had a big fight, and he shot her.”
“I love you. Only God knows the reason that this happened. Only God knows," Medina's father said.
