The 31-year-old who was taken into custody putting up quite some resistance with first responders now faces first-degree murder, arson, and assault charges in the gory stabbing death of 30-year-old Christopher Rodriguez identified as his boyfriend.
Authority said the disturbing murder was caught on a surveillance camera, which shows Mckurlic dragging the victim into the ninth-floor hallway and “strike him across the torso and neck with an unknown weapon."
Rodriguez’ body was found in the hallway “with his testicles mangled, his stomach partially cut open,” and multiple knife wounds.
Police said Mrkulic who was found butt-naked was blocking the scene and fought with cops when they arrived, allegedly biting two officers before he was subdued.
Video footage from the scene showed Mrkulic completely naked with a tattooed buttocks and a bloody face carried out of the building by police. He was later strapped on a stretcher and taken away by ambulance.
He was awaiting arraignment on Sunday, police said.
