LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – An arrest report obtained by FOX5 is revealing new details about a violent attack in a parking lot near the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday.
The suspect in the attack, identified as Colin Czech, was arrested on April 28 following the attack and is facing a charge of open murder.
Around 4:44 a.m., police received a 911 call from an employee at a 7-Eleven on 1100 S. Las Vegas Boulevard, reporting a fight in the parking lot. The caller told dispatchers that a male had tackled and punched a customer in the parking lot, and was “banging his head on the concrete, appeared paranoid, was screaming and yelling, and pacing in front of the business.”
Arriving officers located Czech “kneeling on the ground” next to the victim’s head, and “had blood on his face and hands” as well as “biological matter on his face, hands, mouth, and clothing,” according to the report.
When asked what happened, officers noted that Czech “gave a blank stare” without saying anything.
The victim, identified as only Kenneth, was transported to UMC Trauma Center by arriving medical personnel, where he would later be pronounced dead. Officers also observed Czech “going in and out of consciousness,” and transported him to UMC as well.
While in custody, Czech would eventually tell officers, “he attacked me.” He would also tell officers that he was homeless, and had not slept for “five days straight” because something was “possessing him.”
He would also claim that he was fighting a “shape-shifter” and that he was “tweaking.” Czech told officers that he heard voices in his head, which were telling him to kill the victim, who he did not know.
When asked what he used to hurt the victim, Czech claimed a “higher power” helped him and he “used his teeth” to hurt the victim and allegedly “eat [his] eyeballs and ears.”
During the attack, Czech said he did not see the victim with any weapons.
A detective observing the victim’s body and crime scene would discover that the body was “missing a left eye and a left ear.” Blood splatter at the scene also revealed that the head of the body forcefully struck the concrete.
After being discharged from the hospital, Czech was arrested on murder charges and was booked into Clark County Detention Center.
He is due in court for an initial appearance on Wednesday, May 1.
