Waco Temple Bryan, TX, October 23, 2026 —
Charles Eric Medina has pleaded not guilty to murder and aggravated assault charges related to the death of professional boxer Hannah Rapp, who was killed while cycling in July in the Waco-Temple-Bryan area, according to the information provided about the case.
The plea means Medina has denied the charges; it does not establish the outcome of the case. The available information does not identify the court, provide a date for the plea, or describe the specific allegations behind either charge. It also does not state whether further court proceedings have been scheduled.
Rapp’s death has prompted efforts to enact a safe-passing ordinance called “Hannah’s Law.” The proposal is described as an effort to establish rules for passing cyclists, but details about its provisions, sponsors, jurisdiction, or legislative status were not provided. It is therefore unclear from the available information whether the ordinance has been formally introduced or adopted.
The case connects criminal charges arising from Rapp’s death with a separate public-policy response focused on safe passing. The information provided does not specify who is leading the ordinance effort or whether the proposal is being considered by a particular city or other governing body in the Waco-Temple-Bryan area.
Additional details about the circumstances of the collision, the investigation, and the legal proceedings were not included in the summary. No information was provided about a trial date, statements from Medina or Rapp’s family, or any findings by authorities. The known facts are limited to Medina’s not-guilty plea, the charges, Rapp’s death while cycling in July, and the resulting effort to enact “Hannah’s Law.”
