Jose Medina, 51, was shot to death on the evening of Tuesday, April 21, 2026, in Dinuba, California. The shooting occurred about 5:10 p.m. in the driveway of a home on the 12200 block of Brent Road. Medina and 39-year-old Irai Torres were both found with multiple gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene after numerous 911 calls reporting the shooting.

Authorities identified 43-year-old Miguel Angel Saldana Garcia of Reedley as the suspect and describe the killings as a crime of passion. Police say Saldana is the ex-husband of Torres, who shared at least one child with him, and that Medina was Torres’s new boyfriend. Investigators say an argument preceded the shooting and that Saldana fled in a white truck, returned to Reedley to switch vehicles, and was later tracked and arrested outside the Dinuba Police Department; he was calm and compliant on body camera footage.

Saldana has been charged with two counts of murder with special allegations including multiple murders, discharging a firearm, planning the crime, and violent conduct; he pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail. Medina is remembered as a loving father who leaves two sons; a donation page has been set up to support them. Did anyone in Dinuba or Reedley see activity in the Brent Road area that evening or know the victims?
