The victim was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds early the morning of July 2, in the 600 block of Gallant Fox Drive, near South Merrifield Road. Hinguanzo was taken to a hospital, where he died.

Hinguanzo met with Medina and Medina’s brother about 5 a.m. to purchase a truck from the brother, police wrote in an arrest-warrant affidavit.

While Hinguanzo was in the truck to test drive it, he pulled forward, pinning Medina’s brother between two vehicles, police wrote in the document. Medina then shot repeatedly at Hinguanzo, striking him at least twice, according to the affidavit.

A neighbor witnessed the encounter from his front yard and identified the brothers, police wrote in the affidavit.

No bail amount was listed in court records for Medina as of Thursday evening.
