Antioch officials welcomed the city's first mental health crisis response team and its mobile crisis response van Monday morning.
The city said during a press conference that the team will be the first from a Contra Costa County city to respond to mental health emergencies, which in the past have always been handled by police.
When paramedics arrived, Quinto's face was reportedly purple and he was unresponsive. There was blood on his face and the floor. They began lifesaving measures, but he died later that day at the hospital. "There are no words that can ever heal the pain that you're experiencing but I hope this gesture here helps you understand that your city is listening to you, your city sees you, we value you, and we respect you," Thorpe said.
