BRAZOS COUNTY, Texas (KBTX) – Hannah “Hanarchy” Rapp was known for her drive inside and outside the ring — a rising boxer chasing a world-title opportunity while also working full time.
Now, the 26-year-old is being remembered after authorities say she was killed in a crash while riding her bicycle in Brazos County.
Deputies were dispatched to the 23000 block of FM 159 just before 10 a.m. Saturday, July 18, 2026, for a major crash involving a vehicle and a bicyclist. First responders provided emergency medical care before Rapp was transported to a local hospital, where she later died.
In a June KBTX feature, Rapp said she moved from Indiana to the Bryan-College Station area about two years ago and had been boxing for fewer than five years, quickly building momentum in the sport. She told KBTX she balanced training with her job at Texas A&M, using vacation days — and sometimes unpaid time off — to prepare for fights.
The Brazos County Sheriff’s Office said the driver, Charles Medina, 31, passed two bicyclists traveling along FM 159. After passing them, investigators said Medina stopped his vehicle, reversed, and struck one of the cyclists.
Medina was arrested and charged with manslaughter and taken to the Brazos County Detention Center without incident, authorities said.
Investigators believe this was an isolated incident. The investigation remains active and ongoing as detectives continue to gather evidence and review available information.
