Officers described the crime scene as "extremely bloody" where Brea's mother, 55-year-old Yannick, was found and immediately pronounced dead.

"I had just dozed off to go to sleep and then I woke up to somebody screaming," Bernard Bent said.

"It sounded like lady's voice and after a while I just didn't hear the woman's voice again."

When officers arrived, they found the mentally disturbed 31-year-old actor.

He was excessively combative and police had to shoot him with a taser gun.

Brea was transported to Kings County Hospital with a police guard assigned to him.

The actor has not been formally arrested or charged yet.
