The suspect has been facing murder charges

During the confrontation between Omondi and the two men, including the victim, Scotty Jackson, he picked up a firewood and attacked the men. While 51-year-olf Jackson sustained fatal injuries, the other man survived the attack. The one who escaped the attack called 911. He added,

"When he was pursuing me and attacking me, I was looking at death in the face."

After the attack, the alleged attacker reportedly returned to a nearby Airbnb, where he had taken a room on rent. Another tenant in a separate room claimed that he was still naked and yelling even after returning to the property. After authorities arrived at the scene, they had to use a taser before arresting Omondi since he refused to obey commands. He is currently held at the Tarrant County Corrections Center, and a bond of $300,000 has been issued. According to Kasey De Leon, as reported by WFAA,

"He'd always do something funny. He would just randomly start dancing or make a joke. I'd be like, 'Dad, you're so embarrassing.' I wish I could just tell him so bad. Embarrass me one more time, annoy me one more time."

The suspected attacker has further been charged with murder, aggravated assault of a security officer, and obstruction or retaliation in connection to Scotty Jackson's death.
