Las Vegas, Nevada – Authorities in Las Vegas are investigating a gruesome attack that left a victim missing an eyeball and an ear. The incident occurred in a 7-Eleven parking lot early Sunday morning, where police responded to reports of a violent altercation.
Colin Czech, 31, was found at the scene with blood and biological matter on his face, hands, mouth, and clothing. The victim, known only as Kenneth, was rushed to the UMC Trauma Center but tragically succumbed to his injuries. Czech, who appeared to be in a delusional state, claimed he was fighting a “shape-shifter” and that he heard voices commanding him to harm the victim.
One disturbing detail that emerged from the investigation is that Czech allegedly used his teeth to inflict harm on the victim, even consuming parts of his eyeballs and ears. The violence of the attack was evident from the missing eye and ear, as well as blood splatter at the crime scene indicating a forceful impact with the concrete.
After being treated at the hospital, Czech was arrested and charged with murder. He remains in custody at the Clark County Detention Center while further investigations are ongoing. The motive behind the brutal attack and Czech’s mental state at the time of the incident are key areas of focus for law enforcement officials.
The shocking nature of the attack has left the community in disbelief and raised concerns about mental health awareness and access to resources for those in need. As the investigation continues, authorities will work to piece together the events leading up to the violent altercation and ensure that justice is served for the victim and their loved ones.
This tragic event serves as a reminder of the importance of mental health support and intervention to prevent such senseless acts of violence in the future. As the community grapples with the aftermath of this horrific incident, the safety and well-being of all individuals remain a top priority for law enforcement and mental health professionals alike.
