A man who was charged with breaking into a Piedmont home and staying there for two days, where he ate about $1,000 of food and drink, has died at Santa Rita Jail, his family told KTVU.
The sheriff late Thursday afternoon confirmed that Yuri Brand, 39, had been allegedly killed by his cellmate.
Speaking to KTVU, Edgerly was surrounded by her son, Solomon Pope; her cousin, Kendra Eaglin; and her newly hired civil rights attorney, Adante Pointer – all of whom were there to support her in finding out what happened to her son. The Sheriff's Office later confirmed at that they are charging his cellmate, Bryson Levy, 33, of Oakland, with his death.
Brand was found Wednesday about 12:23 p.m. and was pronounced dead at 1:15 p.m, the sheriff said in an email. She said he had been hit in the head, which damaged his frontal lobe, in high school and had never been the same, and had been in-and-out of jail and prison ever since. When the residents came home, he was gone, but he had left a mess, the homeowner told KTVU. Images of him were captured on the homeowner's surveillance video.
