When he entered, Medina apparently encountered an unknown intruder and, at some point, opened fire and killed the man.
DeKalb County police said Monday that Medina has been charged with murder and booked in jail. Additional details about the circumstances of the shooting were not immediately available.
Squatters are not uncommon around the area in DeKalb County, according to residents.
