A Florida man has been arrested for allegedly hacking to death a Connecticut man and eating the victim’s eye and part of his brain, police said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Tyree Lincoln Smith<\/strong>, 35, was arrested Tuesday night on a Connecticut warrant for murder, according to police in Lynn Haven, Fla.<\/p>\n A property inspector discovered the body of Angel L. Gonzalez<\/strong> on Friday on the third floor of an abandoned home in Bridgeport, Conn., according to that city’s police department. A medical examiner determined that the cause of death was blunt head trauma and ruled Gonzalez’s<\/strong> death a homicide.<\/p>\n On Monday, a cousin of Smith’s<\/strong> in Connecticut contacted the Bridgeport police about Gonzalez’s<\/strong> death. She told detectives that Smith<\/strong> had arrived at her house Dec. 15 and said he wanted to “get blood on his hands” before going to a park and then to the abandoned home, where he used to live, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.<\/p>\n The next day, Smith<\/strong> returned to the cousin’s house with blood on his pants, hands and an axe, the affidavit said. Smith’s<\/strong> cousin said he told her that he was sleeping on a porch at the abandoned home when we was awakened by a Hispanic man and invited inside. Then Smith<\/strong> described beating the man’s face and head with the axe and collecting one of his eyes, a piece of his skull some of his brain matter, which he consumed in a nearby cemetery, the affidavit said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Florida man has been arrested for allegedly hacking to death a Connecticut man and eating the victim’s eye and part of his brain, police said Wednesday.
