Bryson Levy, 33, was arrested for allegedly damaging $3,500 worth of furniture at his halfway house, then allegedly killed his cellmate in Santa Rita Jail the very next day.
DUBLIN — At about 11:45 a.m. on Sept. 13, deputies at the Santa Rita Jail brought 33-year-old Bryson Levy to a new cell that was already occupied by Yuri Brand, an El Cerrito man on pretrial detention for allegedly living at a stranger’s unoccupied Piedmont home without permission for two days.
There are no indications the two men knew one another, and the actual cell placement was routine, according to authorities. It’s unknown exactly when Levy allegedly killed Yuri, but say deputies noticed a “disturbance” at 12:28 p.m. on Sept. 13, exactly 46 minutes after Levy was transferred to the cell. Neither prosecutors nor the Alameda County Sheriff’s office have commented on the suspected motive.
The two men had both been booked into Santa Rita Jail within 48 hours of the homicide, for alleged property crimes. Levy, who was living at a halfway house through a program called Men of Valor, allegedly ransacked the home and broke $3,500 worth of furniture on Sept. 12. The damage was well above the $400 threshold for a felony vandalism charge, but prosecutors elected to charge him with a misdemeanor, court records show.
