now to an arrest and a killing of a Catholic Bishop in his Los Angeles home. A suspect is in custody this morning and Chief National Correspondent, Matt Gutman, is in LA with the latest. Good morning, Matt. Thank you. Morning, Michael. For 36 hours, the Bishop's murder was a mystery. He was shot in his bed.

There was no sign of forced entry in that house, but a critical tip and surveillance video from outside the house led the sheriff's to Carlos Medina, a man who had worked at the Bishop's house and whose wife was the Bishop's housekeeper. This morning, LA Sheriff revealing beloved Bishop David O'Connell found murdered in his bed, knew his assailant. A firearm was not recovered at the scene and there was no forced entry into the Bishop's residence. O'Connell served parishioners in LA for 45 years. Early Monday, SWAT teams arresting 61 year old Carlos Medina, describing him as the husband of Bishop O'Connell's housekeeper. He suspect had previously done work around the Bishop's residence. Investigators saying surveillance video led them to notice a certain compact SUV and then they got a critical tip.

Detectives were told by the tipster that they were concerned because Medina was acting strange, irrational and made comments about the Bishop owing him money. Law enforcement has not commented on a possible motive. Bishop O'Connell was 69 years old. He was known as a peacemaker who worked with everyone, from immigrants to victims of gang violence. 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. O'Connell truly was a revered figure here in Los Angeles. Carlos Medina is now in an LA County jail on a $2 million bail as the sheriff's work to recommend murder charges against him.
