Investigators found one person dead and three others injured Monday at a property in the unincorporated part of the city, authorities said. The discovery happened about 8:05 a.m. after deputies from the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office responded to a welfare check in the 5100 block of Laurel Drive, the sheriff's office said in a statement. Once there, they found a resident dead, and three other injured people who were rushed via ambulance to a hospital.

The victim had met and befriended a woman known as Chris while in Mexico about a month and a half before the incident, prosecutors said. The relationship between the two, which was non-romantic, continued after they returned home to East Palo Alto, with the pair meeting at a local McDonald's and talking over social media, prosecutors said. Chris confided in the victim about domestic issues she was having with her ex-partner.

Police attempted to interview Youmans, but said his behavior was "violent and erratic." He was screaming, punching walls, and even masturbating and ejaculating on the interview table.
