The 22-year-0ld was living with them at the Independent Living Institute in Santa Barbara, according to CBS. According to the site, it “serves handicapped, developmentally delayed, and under-educated individuals in the areas of independent living, academics and vocational skills.”

UPDATE: The above may be incorrect information. This link quotes the sheriff's spokesperson saying that he lived it what appears a regular apartment. http://www.noozhawk.com/article/names_of_last_3_victims_in_isla_vista_rampage_released_20140525?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter That information comports with the fact that CNN interviewed one of his neighbors and it sounded like they may have lived in the same apartment complex mostly occupied by students.
