Waterbury, Conn. (WTNH) - Warning: Some may find this story graphic and disturbing.
The arrest warrant for a 19-year old Waterbury man charged in a teenage girl's rape and murder reveals disturbing and explicit details about the night she died.
16-year old Chloe Ottman was reported missing on July 16. She was last seen alive with 19-year old Francisco Cruz, the man charged in her death.
On July 17, Cruz sat down with detectives and confessed to her murder. According to the arrest warrant, Cruz and Ottman have been friends for about two years. Cruz told police that they met up at the Brass City Mall on July 15th around 4pm. From there, the pair bought some alcoholic drinks and went to Holy Land to smoke cigarettes and drink. That's when Cruz says he tried to have sex with Ottman, but she refused his advances.
Cruz says he kept trying to "make his move" on Ottman, when she pushed him away and hit him on the face with her elbow, knocking his glasses off his face.
"I got so mad at her. I hate when people hit me on the face," the warrant reads.
That's when he claims to have choked the girl until she was unconscious and began "to rape her."
Cruz told police that Ottman then "gasped for air like two different times" and that is "when I decided that I had to kill her."
After the rape, Cruz wanted to make sure she was dead and stabbed her in the neck several times with a pocket knife. Cruz then dragged her body from the base of the cross to a wooded area nearby. He led police to the body after his initial confession.
The Medical Examiner's office ruled Ottman's cause of death was sharp force and blunt force trauma injury to the neck, and called it a homicide.
Both the victim's family and the suspect's family crowded the courtroom for the arraignment. Cruz did not enter a plea and his bond was kept at $5 million. The judge also ordered a psychiatric evaluation.
"I just want him to stay in jail for the rest of his life, he took my friend's life away from her," said Ottman's friend, Alasia Costello of Waterbury.

"She was like always there for me and she was always an amazing person, she was so different from everybody else, her attitude and stuff was amazing," said Rachelle Connors of Meriden.
Cruz is facing a capital felony murder charge, which could lead to the death penalty, if convicted.
"It's so hard to know that she's gone this soon and someone that she knows took her life away from her, it's not fair, it's so not fair," cried Angelica Bowen of Waterbury.
Ottman would have been a junior at Crosby High School this fall.
