LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – Authorities in Las Vegas are investigating a gruesome incident where a victim was found missing an eyeball and ear after a violent attack near the Las Vegas Strip.
According to a police report, the incident occurred early Sunday morning when a 911 call reported a fight in a 7-Eleven parking lot. Witnesses described a man tackling and assaulting a customer before behaving erratically, screaming, and pacing in front of the business.
Police arrived at the scene to find Colin Czech, 31, kneeling next to the victim with blood on his face and hands, along with biological matter found on his face, hands, mouth, and clothing. Czech appeared incoherent and did not provide a clear explanation of the events.
The victim, identified only as Kenneth, was rushed to UMC Trauma Center where he was later pronounced dead. Czech, who claimed to be homeless and sleep-deprived due to being “possessed,” was also taken to the hospital after appearing to be in and out of consciousness.
In a disturbing turn of events, Czech allegedly told officers that he believed he was fighting a “shape-shifter” who he thought was possessing him and directing him to harm the victim. Czech admitted to using his teeth to attack the victim, reportedly consuming the victim’s eyeball and ear in the process.
A detective examining the crime scene noted the victim’s missing eye and ear, along with blood splatter indicating a violent struggle. Czech was subsequently arrested on murder charges and taken into custody at the Clark County Detention Center.
The motive behind this shocking incident remains under investigation as authorities work to piece together the events leading up to the violent attack near the Las Vegas Strip. The community is left stunned and seeking answers in the wake of such a brutal and senseless crime.
