Javier Medina was 27 and a father when he was shot on the night of November 13, 2023, in the 400 block of East Bradley Avenue in Bostonia, an unincorporated area near El Cajon, California. Deputies found him with multiple gunshot wounds shortly before 10 p.m.; he was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries on November 15. A fundraiser was later set up to help his family with funeral expenses.

The investigation produced arrests in connection with the shooting. Two men, Hunter Randall White and Kristian Wolf, were charged with murder for Medina’s death and attempted murder for allegedly firing at a second man during the same incident. Prosecutors said witnesses heard a gang challenge issued to Medina just before he was shot, surveillance placed the defendants near a nearby apartment complex beforehand, and cell phone evidence indicated animosity between the men and the victim.

The probe also implicated Hunter White’s mother, Carla White; prosecutors alleged she drove her son from the scene and provided him confidential law enforcement information. She pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact and to unauthorized furnishing of information and was later sentenced to one year in county jail.

Did anyone in the Bostonia or El Cajon area see activity around East Bradley Avenue that night or have information about Medina’s final movements?
