A star University of Oregon football player has been arrested after allegedly killing a 46-year-old man in a horror hit and run.
Daylen Amir Austin, 19, was charged with felony hit and run on Monday evening, before cops revealed eerie details surrounding the incident.
Reported dispatch records found that police were initially called over a stabbing at 9:15pm around three miles from the college campus, and the victim was found in the road with a large laceration to his neck.
A hammer was also reportedly found near to the victim, who has not been identified, and police said their 'complex' investigation is still ongoing.

The 911 call reporting the incident to police described it as a stabbing, and the victim was found with a laceration on his neck. A hammer was also found nearby, as cops described the situation as 'complex'
Just over two hours after the hit-and-run, Austin was arrested at an apartment at around 11:45pm.
Investigators have not yet explained why the 911 call reporting the incident described it as a stabbing, only saying that the situation is 'complex.'
Austin, a sophomore defensive running back, was arraigned at Lane County Jail on Wednesday.
The 19-year-old did not enter a plea at his arraignment, and circuit court judge Kamala Shugar granted him conditional release, reports The Oregonian.
Officials say they are still looking into gathering evidence over the death, with a final charging decision to be made by the Lane County District Attorney's Office.
In a statement after the charges were brought, the Oregon football program said it was 'aware of the incident.'

The team did not comment further as it says it is 'awaiting additional information.'
Before the crash, neighbors told KEZI that they heard a vehicle driving loudly through their neighborhood.
'About 10 'til nine I head a car zooming around the neighborhood up and down what sounded like Polk and then up and down Fourth, and then it sounded like he was behind us,' neighbor Seth Lockard said.
'It just sounded like he was doing circles for about 10-15 minutes going really fast.'
Locals said their street is notorious for speeders looking to avoid a nearby main road, and neighbor Anthony Sharpy said blood was left at the scene for hours after the crash.
'The next morning when I drove by, there was still just puddles of blood and some gloves in the street, so I put some hydrogen peroxide on the blood and put 5-gallon buckets of water on it to try and wash it away because people walk their dogs right there, there's flies and birds flying around,' he said.
'We just didn't want to see the blood in the street.'
