Contra Costa Sheriff David Livingston said Friday that he knows residents in the plush San Francisco suburb of Orinda are on edge after the massive party on October 31 and wanted to provide an update, although he could not yet say what sparked the shooting and who shot whom.
Livingston said there is a wealth of evidence to process, including casings that littered the floors and countertops of the four-bedroom home that hosted roughly 100 people that night.
‘In my 32 years of law enforcement, I have never seen a homicide scene like this, ever,’ he said. ‘It was a bloodbath inside the home.’

Those arrested include Jaquez Deshawne Sweeney, 20, and Shamron Mitchell, 30, Jason Iles, 20, and Lebraun Wallace, 28, who face charges of suspicion of murder and conspiracy.
A fifth man Devin Williamson, 21, was charged as an accessory.
Members of rival gangs from San Francisco and Marin City were among those at the party, he said, which was advertised on social media.
Livingston said that an altercation started in the kitchen of the house, and witnesses told investigators someone had tried to steal someone else´s property, which may have precipitated the shooting.
Sheriff Livingston said there were ‘multiple’ shooters at the party. Investigators reviewing video from that night saw people tucking guns into their pants as they slipped past a front-door security guard who was drinking from a bottle of Hennessy.
He said some of the people went to the party ‘with intent of causing harm and conflict.’
Five people were injured, which is one more than previously reported. Three had gunshot wounds but one had severe injuries from jumping more than 30 feet from a balcony to escape gunfire.
Tiyon Farley, 22, of Antioch; Omar Taylor, 24, of Pittsburg; Raymon Hill Jr., 23, of San Francisco and Oakland; Javlin County, 29, of Sausalito and Richmond; and Oshiana Tompkins, 19, of Vallejo and Hercules, died in the shooting.
