A Florida man arrested in connection to his wife’s murder after posting a graphic photo of her blood-splattered body on his Facebook page played a tattooed, violent gang member in a TV show and wants to be famous.
In a message that appeared on his personal Facebook account Thursday morning, 31-year-old Derek Medina, of Miami, allegedly admitted to the murder of his wife, 26-year-old Jennifer Alfonso.
‘Im going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife love you guys miss you guys takecare Facebook people you will see me in the news,’ he wrote.
‘My wife was punching me and I am not going to stand anymore with the abuse so I did what I did I hope u understand me.’
Medina supplemented the photo apparently showing his murdered spouse lying in the kitchen with blood covering her face and left arm with the comment: ‘Rip Jennifer Alfonso.’
MailOnline chose to obscure the image due to its extremely graphic and disturbing nature.
Medina’s post and shocking photo of his murdered wife remained on Facebook for five hours before his profile was taken down just before 5pm Thursday.
Miami Herald reported that Thursday afternoon, Mr Medina walked into a police station and turned himself in, confessing that he had shot his wife following a domestic dispute, according to investigators.
His mug shot was released Friday morning as details emerged about his life.
Officers who were dispatched to the couple’s home at 5555 SW 67th Avenue discovered Jennifer Alfonso’ body.
A 10-year-old girl was led out of the residence wrapped in a red blanket. The child is believed to have been present during the shooting, but was not harmed.
The woman in the picture is bent over backwards at the knees wearing black leotards with her head in the corner of what appears to be a kitchen.
The unsettling post left several of Medina’s friends puzzled, asking him what happened.
Kayla Amando Pabon wrote about the woman in the grisly image: ‘That is my friend there.’
Medina was a part time actor on the USA Network show Burn Notice.
The wannabe star boasted online about his tiny bit-part appearances and dreamed of fame that he never quite attained. He appeared only as a backgound extra with his head-shaved and pouting in two episodes in 2010.
However, that didn’t stop his talking up his achievements.
Posting a video on You Tube, he narrated: ‘Put on USA, I’m coming out on the episode right now. I’m on USA. I’m going to come out soon. This is the episode that I filmed. hat’s me right there! You saw me?’
The page also has a clip of a man kicking a punching bag in a gym.
In an interview with the local station WSVN, Medina’s father, Derek Medina Sr., said that his son came to him at around 11am Thursday and admitted to shooting his wife.
‘He just said that his wife picked up a knife on him, and they had a big fight, and he shot her,’ said the father.
The elder Medina drove his son to a South Miami police station, where the 31-year-old turned himself in.
Derek Medina Sr said that girl who was removed from the apartment wrapped in a blanket is Alfonso’s daughter from a previous relationship.
According to the father, his son had a rocky relationship with Alfonso. He said that the two got a divorce after being married for three years, but tied the knot again last year.
Alfonso listed her occupation as a server at Denny’s. Records show that she married Medina in April 2012.
The woman was last active on Facebook Wednesday, some 15 hours before the image of her body appeared on her husband’s page. At the time, Alfonso changed her profile picture to a photo of her kissing Medina.
Miami New Times reported that Medina has published a number of self-help e-books, among them one titled: ‘How I Saved Someone’s Life and Marriage and Family Problems Thru Communication.’
His works, mostly bearing odd and lengthy titles, are available through the site e-junkie priced between $999 and $11.99. At least one is out in paperback selling for $19.99.
His latest offering is ‘World Just Ask Yourself Why We Are Living a Life Full of Lies and How I an Emotional Writer Made All of My Professional Dreams Come True Blocking Society’s Teachings.’
In a summary of one book, Medina claims he can hunt ghosts and at one time saved his wife from a poltergeist attack while they were in New York.
Elsewhere in his writings, Medina talked about his experiences with aliens and lamented that humans are not working on a time travel machine needed for an ‘evacuation plan.’

Exactly what the NSA and GCHQ desired from Facebook along with its DARPA creators. Mark Zuckerberg is not the man behind Facebook, he is a front puppet put there by The Worshipful Company of Information Technologistsfor the herd to worship his zits and never look at the real enemy. I still do not understand what the fascination is with this Facebook, it has always looked and felts awful. I have seen much better social media software but because Facebook is the Tavistock Institutes pet project the others do not get a look in. I believe the Ilya Zhitomirskiy the creator of Dispora was horizontalized over social media power by the Technologists.

Hows about just not using social media at all? Go back to private emails if there is such a thing, do not use U.S. email systems and opt for services abroad. It is definitely better than social media. Start using the landline with a corded phone more instead of the net, they need warrants and it is a hassle to wiretap these lines. Now do you see why they are charging so much for landlines to put people off them and instead opt for cell phones? Go back to writing letters and using snail mail, they hate this with a passion. If you do then use a pencil since most the inks today are so low quality they smug and disappear quickly. If I have to make notes today I only use pencils and they last forever too. All internet connections should be made using ethernet and never wireless. Ideally your operating system should be a Linux based system preferably a stripped down version like Crunchbang so you know what is on there and what is not. Ideally try to keep flash and java off your machine. An operating system like Tails linux is good for going on the internet.
