Perry`s attorney, Michael E. Calligan, did not immediately return a call for comment.
Officers were called Thursday afternoon to an apartment complex where Perry was allegedly wielding a knife.
They found Paquin`s body inside an apartment and maintenance workers detaining Perry.
Perry told investigators they had been drinking when Paquin began "to change into a zombie" and tried to bite him.
Police say Perry beat Paquin with his hands, feet, an electric guitar and a microwave.
Authorities say Perry attributed his actions to binge-watching "The Walking Dead," which centers on a zombie apocalypse, on Netflix.
