The Maywood Police Department is currently searching for 35-year-old Sergio Brown whose family could not get into contact with either him or his mother.
Neighbors and family members are deeply saddened by this news as they try to process what happened.
Carlos Cortez, who lives next door to the Browns stated that police saw something on his doorbell camera that indicated that Sergio had taken out the trash and burned all of his mother’s clothes prior to her death.
He went on to say that family members told him Sergio “wasn’t himself” during recent months and that police have been called to their house before.
Nick Brown, Sergio’s brother posted an emotional plea on Facebook asking anyone with information about his brother’s whereabouts to report it to the Maywood Police Department as he said goodbye to his mom one last time thanking her for being strong and saving his art work while assuring her he won’t let her down.
