Tekashi 6ix9ine Health club Assault Suspect Is Gang Member From Latin Kings, Cops Say

One of many males arrested in Tekashi 6ix9ine‘s fitness center beatdown is a high-ranking member of the Latin Kings gang … at the least in accordance with the deputies who busted him.

The Palm Seaside County Sheriff says Rafael Medina Jr., the oldest of the three males arrested for assaulting and robbing Tekashi, is a documented Latin Kings gang member who, for a number of years, has held a high-ranking place inside the gang.

The sheriff says their Gang Unit Detectives have proof Medina Jr. is an “Inca” inside the Palm Seaside County Chapter of the Latin Kings … which means he is the chapter’s president.

And, get this, the sheriff says the Latin Kings have a wealthy historical past of being allies with the Bloods Gang … which is notable as a result of Tekashi famously flipped on Blood gang members in federal courtroom.

What’s extra, the sheriff says Medina Jr. was convicted on felony prices within the mid-2000s as a part of a federal gang RICO case relating to the Latin Kings.

TMZ broke the story … three males beat the crap out of the New York rapper earlier this month whereas he was within the sauna at an LA Health in South Florida. Surveillance video from the fitness center reveals the trio making a beeline for Tekashi as quickly as they enter the power.

In keeping with the arrest affidavit, the fellows on video beating 6ix9ine are Medina Jr, his son, Octavious Medina, and a 3rd man, Anthony Maldonado.

The sheriff says Maldonado is a member at LA Health and received Octavious into the fitness center as a visitor, Octavious then let his father into the fitness center.

As for the theft prices … the boys are accused of taking Tekashi’s $3,000 Balenciaga sneakers, an iPhone, and the $1,200 key fob to his Lamborghini. They had been booked Thursday night and processed into county jail.
