The Zombie Apocalypse is Nigh

And it looks like it will start in Florida.

LYNN HAVEN, Fla. -- A Florida man has been arrested after he hacked a Connecticut man to death and ate the victim's eye and part of his brain, police said Wednesday.
Tyree Smith, 35, was arrested Tuesday night on a Connecticut warrant for murder, Lynn Haven police said.

A property inspector discovered the body of Angel L. Gonzalez on Friday inside 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 death a homicide.

Monday, a cousin of Smith's in Connecticut contacted Bridgeport police about Gonzalez's death. She told detectives that Smith 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.

The next day, Smith returned to the cousin's house with blood on his pants, hands and an axe, the affidavit said. Smith's 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 described beating the man's face and head with the axe and collecting one of his eyes, a piece of his skull and some of his brain matter, which he consumed in a nearby cemetery, the affidavit said.

The cousin told detectives she called Smith's mother, who notified police Dec. 16 that they may want to check the abandoned home and that her son had "mental issues," the affidavit said.

Smith had left Connecticut on a Greyhound Bus bound for Florida on Friday, the cousin told detectives. Police and Smith's relatives reached Smith by telephone, and in a recorded call Smith admitted that he had been at the abandoned house and that he told a relative he had killed the man, according to the affidavit.

Federal, state and local law enforcement officers took Smith into custody at an apartment Tuesday night without incident, Lynn Haven police said.
