Sheriff declines road-rage label despite affidavit contradicting driver's account in boxer Hannah Rapp's death

Charles Medina told investigators he was backing up at 15 mph and didn't see 26-year-old boxer Hannah Rapp before striking her on a Texas highway on July 18, 2026. But a sworn affidavit says physical evidence contradicts him. Medina sped past Rapp and her boyfriend, slammed his brakes, then accelerated in reverse, shattering his rear windshield on impact. Brazos County's sheriff declined to call it road rage; the case remains under investigation. Medina faces manslaughter and is held on $250,000 bond.
