Taylen Brooks, 21, was killed by a Northern California mountain lion. Brother Wyatt Brooks, 18, was severely wounded but expected to survive, officials said.
Two brothers who were lifelong outdoorsmen were identified Monday as the victims mauled by a mountain lion in Northern California this weekend in what appears to be the first fatal cougar attack in the Golden State in two decades. Taylen Robert Claude Brooks, 21, died in the attack, and his brother, 18-year-old Wyatt Jay Charles Brooks, was severely wounded but is expected to survive, according to the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office.
Emergency responders first located and began treating Wyatt Brooks, before finding the mountain lion crouched next to his slain brother. Officials shot toward the animal, scaring it off. Officials with the Department of Fish and Wildlife and an El Dorado County trapper later shot and killed the mountain lion, which remained within “close proximity” of where the attack occurred, said Sgt. Kyle Parker, with the sheriff’s office.
