Authorities seek man accused of attempted murder in Yucca Valley
On Monday at 6:57 p.m., deputies responded to a call of a woman and children screaming at the 6400 block of Avalon Ave in Yucca Valley, according to a San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department news release.
The victim told deputies Brazee broke into her home through her daughter’s bedroom window. The woman said she was bathing her children when Brazee approached her and “choked her with both his hands and shoved her against the bathroom wall.”
The woman said as she was beginning to lose consciousness, Brazee punched her in the face, causing swelling and redness. The woman then headbutted Brazee, causing him to let go of her. She then grabbed all her children and put them inside of her vehicle. Brazee left the area when he heard neighbors contacting police.
Authorities said the woman and her children have been relocated to a domestic violence shelter.
Anyone with information related to the investigation, or the whereabouts of Brazee, is asked to contact the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Morongo Basin Station at (760)366-4175.
