Medina Jr. apparently was involved in a federal gang RICO case in the mid-2000s, in connection with the Latin Kings, and was found guilty on felony charges. The sheriff additionally revealed that the Latin Kings are connected to the Bloods Gangāthe same crew that 69 snitched on in his federal case.
Tekashi was assaulted and robbed at an LA Fitness in Florida on March 21; he was subsequently hospitalized after sustaining injuries to his jaw, back, and ribs. Three men were captured on footage and later arrested for the attack: Medina Jr., his son, Octavious Medina, and Anthony Maldonado. Theyāre accused of stealing 6ix9ineās $3,000 Balenciaga shoes, an iPhone, and the $1,200 key fob to his Lamborghini.
Maldonado, who is a member at the LA Fitness location, signed in Ocatvious as a guest, and he got his father into the gym. The rapper wasnāt with his bodyguard at the time and it seems heās not worried about being attacked again, viewing the attack as a one-time incident.
