Police received a call that a child was being stabbed at 2523 Amber Crest Street, Las Vegas.
The child was stabbed 11 times and is in critical condition, fighting for her life.
During dinner, family members were sitting around the table.
Alan Wilson was pacing between a bedroom and kitchen table; a behavior family says he developed while in solitary confinement. Wilson did this for thirty minutes as the family ate and started their bible study.
While the child was sitting at the table, Wilson came up behind her, “as if to hug her” but started stabbing the 3-year-old multiple times.
A family member started fighting with Wilson, trying to get the knife from him and stop the attack. While stabbing her, Wilson stated, “I need to get the demons out of her, I need to save her” repeatedly.
While a family member held Wilson back, another grabbed the child, ran through the house to the garage, jumped in their car, and rushed to the nearby fire station. The family member who intervened sustained extensive injuries to their hand.
After the attack, Wilson stated, “I had to get the demons out of her.” He then asked, “What did I do?” and left the house.
Wilson has been charged with attempted murder, child abuse, and battery.
He has a court date set for April 2022.
