Nearly a year after police accused Isaiah Gentry of brutally attacking his father, the teen has been arrested.
TEMPE, Ariz. - Nearly a year after police say he brutally attacked his father at a Tempe home, a young man is arrested.
The attack happened in March 2020. According to court documents, Isaiah Gentry is accused of hitting his dad in the head with a statue before stabbing him 20 times with a steak knife. The victim was able to escape to a neighbor's house.
Despite the severity of the attack, documents show the victim's injuries were not life-threatening.
Police investigators say the suspect told them he tried to kill his father because a "Shapeshifting reptile" had taken over. Gentry had been hospitalized, but was recently released and arrested on an attempted murder charge.
