A former California college swimmer was naked when he allegedly attacked a graveyard shift security guard who was found dead hours later at a Maui, Hawaii resort, authorities said.
Legend Storer, 20, has been charged with second-degree murder, first-degree burglary involving a dangerous instrument and indecent exposure in connection with the Aug. 5 death of Michael “Mike” Dyer, 63, according to court records obtained by Fox News Digital.
The Maui Police Department said the bizarre chain of events began around 1:45 a.m., when surveillance footage captured an unclothed man approaching Dyer’s office at a condominium resort on Lower Honoapiʻilani Road in Lahaina.

Just over an hour later, at about 3:02 a.m., dispatchers received a report of a nude man wandering through a neighborhood in nearby Kahana.
Officers tracked down the unclothed 20-year-old around 3:35 a.m. and found that he had suffered numerous abrasions, police said. He was taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center for evaluation.
Then, at 5:31 a.m., police were called to the resort after Dyer was found unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators reviewing surveillance footage later determined that the man found wandering naked in Kahana was the same person seen in the footage from the resort, police said.
Maui Police Department did not publicly identify the suspect by name, citing a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling and its policy against routinely releasing identifying information about people who have been arrested.
But Hawaii court records identify Storer as the suspect charged with the same three offenses, all stemming from an alleged crime on Aug. 5.
