Police spoke with Nasim Najafi Aghdam who by then had traveled almost 500 miles away from home and was just 30 miles away from YouTube headquarters.
The Youtube shooter is now identified as Nasim Najafi Aghdam of San Diego, who would have turned 39 on Wednesday, April 4. Aghdam was an animal rights activist with a heavy presence on YouTube and she believed that YouTube had recently censored her postings. She was furious when she started to lose followers and viewers after YouTube changed its filters.
Over the weekend Aghdam’s family reported her missing to police when she disappeared and stopped answering her phone. Her brother said they got a call from police after they had located her sleeping in her car in Mountain View.

Her brother said he looked up the location of that town on Google and when he learned it was about 30 miles away from the headquarters of YouTube, he called the police back. He talked to the police officer who had originally called him and he told that officer of his family’s concerns. She was almost 500 miles away from home and only about 30 miles away from YouTube at the time.
The brother told him there’s a reason that she went all the way from San Diego to where they found her. He believed she was headed to the YouTube complex and he told police the family was concerned “she might do something.”
“On Monday, her father called police to report his daughter missing and warned officers that she might go to YouTube. Officers in Mountain View found her sleeping in her car, but let her go after she refused to answer their questions.” https://t.co/TOYHWgyBaY

“So they didn’t do anything, and she got killed… and three or four more people got hurt.”
“Our officers made contact with the woman after the license plate of her vehicle matched that of a missing person out of Southern California. The woman confirmed her identity to us and answered subsequent questions. At the conclusion of our discussion, her family was notified that she had been located.”
