31-year-old Colin Czech was arrested in connection with a homicide that occurred on Sunday April 28th, near 3rd Street and East Charleston Boulevard in Las Vegas.
Czech, who claimed to be homeless, is accused of attacking a man and eating portions of his face. He was a no-show during a court hearing Monday afternoon, and eventually rescheduled for Wednesday April 1.
The sickening crime took place just a few blocks from the Golden Nugget Casino and Fremont Street Experience.
It started at 4:44 a.m. Sunday morning in front of a 7-Eleven at Charleston and Las Vegas boulevards. An employee called 911 after a man tackled and punched a customer in the parking lot.
The caller also stated the suspect was banging his head on the concrete—screaming and yelling and pacing in front of the business.
Then, at 5:33 a.m., another call came in from the AM/PM just up the street. Witnesses reported a man fitting the same description at a bus stop eating the face of a male on the ground.
At 5:37 a.m., police arrived and took Czech into custody.
According to the report, there was biological matter in his hair, mouth, and on his clothing.
While Las Vegas is among the largest tourist destinations in the US, its homicide rate sits at 13th per capita in the nation.
Cannibal murder cases are rare in the US.
