Charles Eric Medina was arrested on July 20, 2026, for manslaughter in the fatal collision involving professional boxer Hannah Rapp, 26. Rapp was riding a bicycle on a rural road south of College Station, Texas, when Medina passed FM 159, reversed, and struck her. Police say Rapp, who rode with boyfriend Will Pollalis, later died at a hospital.

Medina’s arrest record stretches back to 2012, beginning with reckless driving and evading arrest. He has pleaded guilty to multiple offenses, including a 2014 reckless driving charge and a 2020 hit‑and‑run. More recent hearings in 2024 and 2025 involve deadly conduct with a firearm and a second evading arrest case; a court‑ordered psychological evaluation remains pending.

Rapp, a Purdue track alumnus, transitioned to professional boxing in 2024 while working as a fire and life safety inspector at Texas A&M. She held an 8‑0‑EM record and challenged Tiara Brown for the WBC featherweight title at MVPW‑04 in Orlando, losing by unanimous decision. The Brazos County Sheriff's Office described the incident as isolated, but an active investigation restricts further commentary.
