PARK CITY, Utah — Newly obtained court documents describe what happened when a man was stabbed to death in Park City on Friday morning.
Park City police were called at 8:35 a.m. to the 500 block of Deer Valley Drive for a reported stabbing. When they arrived, they found two people with injuries: one with stab wounds to the chest and another with a cut on his arm.
The victim later died from his injuries. He was identified as 34-year-old Damon Enman, a Salt Lake County resident.
Police arrested Austin Kenneth Garceau, 38, on suspicion of murder. They said he had a laceration on his arm when they arrived.
According to booking documents filed by Park City Police, Enman was the one who had called dispatch to report the stabbing. Shortly after officers arrived, he pointed to Garceau, saying he had grabbed a knife and said, "I'm going to kill you."
A witness told officers that Garceau said Enman "was a reptillian" prior to stabbing him. The witness attempted to intervene during the stabbing, jumping on Garceau's back and pulling him into a bear hug before he finally dropped the knife.
A second witness told police that they saw Garceau physically assaulting Enman before the stabbing. Two witnesses were able to pull Garceau off Enman, but then one of them said they heard Garceau walk into the kitchen and pull the knife from a butcher block, stating that it made a distinct sound.
They then gave a similar account to the first witness of the moments leading up to the stabbing. Enman was taken to the University of Utah Hospital, where he later died. An autopsy was conducted the following day, with the medical examiner ruling the death as a homicide.
Garceau is currently being held without bail.
