‘Power Rangers Samurai’ Actor Faces Murder Raps After Allegedly Stabbing Roommate With Sword; Ricardo Medina Of ‘Wild Force’ Charged, With $1 Million Bail To Post

A "Power Rangers Samurai" actor faces allegations of killing his roommate. Red Lion Ranger Ricardo Medina Jr. allegedly impaled the victim with a sword.

Ricardo Medina Jr. was booked on charges of killing his roommate, with a million-dollar bail to post. The "Power Rangers Samurai" actor played Red Ranger in "Wild Force," turned villain as Deker in "Samurai."

TMZ caught first whiff of the report. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office said 36-year-old Medina retreated into his bedroom after a heated argument with Joshua Stutter, also 36, on Saturday. 

Stutter reportedly followed Medina to his locked room and forced his way in. The latter picked up a sword near the bedroom door and stabbed Stutter in the stomach once.

It was Medina who called 911 immediately after the incident; he stayed at the scene until the deputies arrived. He was later jailed on suspicion of murder after an interview with homicide detectives.

Medina's agent commented on the incident, found it hard to believe the "Power Rangers Samurai" actor could be responsible for the allegations.

"He's been my friend and client for 12 years, and he's a great guy. He's great to his dog, he's great to his people. He's really a super person."

Medina started his TV career as a Power Ranger in "Power Rangers Wild Force," in 2002. He returned as a voice actor for another character in "Power Rangers Samura," as the villain Deker. Aside from his stint in the TV series, Medina has also made appearances in primetime shows "CSI: Miami" and "E.R."

The "Power Rangers Samurai" actor is yet to post bail; LA County Spokesperson and Deputy Juanita Navarro-Suarez said Medina was with his girlfriend in the room when Stutter barged in.

Medina is scheduled in court on Tuesday, at Lancaster California, according to a Reuters report.
