Witnesses called 911 at 4:44 a.m. Sunday after seeing Czech tackle a man, identified as Kenneth Brown in court documents, to the ground.
He was ‘banging’ [Brown’s] head against the cement, seemed paranoid, yelled and screamed and walked in front of the business.
Police alleged that Czech murdered Brown by repeatedly slamming his head into the cement, causing him to die from severe head injuries.
The 7-Eleven parking lot is at 1100 S Las Vegas Boulevard, steps from the famous Haunted Museum and Little White Chapel.
Another 911 call was made at 5:33 a.m. saying the same man was “eating the man’s face on the ground” at a nearby bus stop. Police arrived four minutes later and were horrified to find Czech with blood and “biological matter” on his face, hands, mouth and clothing.

A 911 call claimed Czech was “eating the man’s face on the ground” at a nearby bus stop, and police arrived to find him kneeling on the victim and covered in blood.
Brown was unresponsive and bleeding from his head and missing his left ear and eye.
Czech was “kneeling on the ground” next to Brown’s head and when officers asked what had happened, he “gave a blank look” and said nothing, authorities said.
Czech was taken to the hospital while “fading in and out of consciousness,” while Brown was pronounced dead on arrival.
Czech later told detectives that he was homeless and had not slept for five nights in a row because something was “possessing him.”
He allegedly claimed that Brown “attacked him” and thought he was fighting a “shapeshifter,” but a “higher power” helped him achieve victory.
Voices in his head told him to kill a person named Drake, whom he didn’t know and thought was Brown, he allegedly told police. Checo also said that he was “modifying.”

Chief Deputy Public Defender David Westbrook (pictured) told the court that Czech was insane and he was granted a competency hearing on May 24.
When asked what he used to attack Brown, he allegedly said “my teeth” and that he “used his teeth to eat.” [Brown’s] eyeballs and ears.”
Chief Deputy Public Defender David Westbrook told the court that Czech was insane and he was granted a competency hearing on May 24.
“I have spoken to him and determined that he is incompetent,” he said.
‘We will get to the bottom of all factual allegations, that is a process. But before we get to that point we have to start the competition procedure.’
If the hearing determines Czech is too mentally incompetent to stand trial, he would be sent to a mental institution for treatment until that changes.
Czech was taken into custody without bail and is behind bars at the Clark County Detention Center.
