Neighbors in an East St. Louis, Illinois, community, told police they saw a knife-wielding teen dressed in a creepy clown costume going door-to-door on Monday night before a body was reported in the roadway.
Doorbell camera caught the crazy-eyed teen dressed in a black and red clown costume, a mask and glasses.
“I have a gift for you,” the unidentified teen says before he walks away.
Later Monday evening, police received a call about a body in the roadway.
Police discovered a deceased victim, later identified as 78-year-old John Wesley Allen Sr.
Allen was stabbed multiple times.
The teen was taken into custody on Monday. The charges, if any, are unclear at this time.
