A famous lay person interred at the Mausoleum: Actor Gregory Peck. The remains of Saint Vibiana, a third-century martyr of the Church and the patron saint of the Archdiocese of L.A., are also housed there. There, O’Connell is now interred among clerics including Thaddeus Amat y Brusi, the first bishop of Los Angeles, and John Cantwell, the first Archbishop of Los Angeles in the early 20th century. Its 1,300 crypts and 5,000 niches for cremated remains are said to be within the largest cathedral burial vaults in the world. The Mausoleum - its walls of Spanish limestone and stained glass windows throughout – is below the main church.

Archbishop Jose Gomez places a bible on the casket of Bishop David O’Connell at Funeral Mass held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles, CA Friday, March 3, 2023. That will start to emerge after the arraignment. What, if any, defense strategy Medina’s lawyer will deploy is unclear. But a sheriff’s lieutenant has said Medina’s comments have largely not made sense - so investigators have discounted owed money as a motive. Medina has claimed to investigators that the bishop owed him money it is unclear if that was true. Law-enforcement officials have not revealed a possible motive. The sheriff has said she has cooperated with authorities in their investigation.

Medina’s wife, a devout Catholic, also worked for the bishop at his modest Hacienda Heights home as a housekeeper. The handyman, 61 at the time of the death, worked for the bishop and has confessed to investigators, the district attorney has said, adding that investigators believe they found the gun used in the killing. If convicted as charged, Medina could face 35 years to life in prison. The man accused of killing the bishop, Carlos Medina, appeared in court shortly after his arrest but his arraignment was postponed until March 22.
