Seeking Information on Second Attempted Abduction

Update: On August 26,
2015, around 9:15 a.m., a suspect attempted to abduct an adult
female from the 2100 block of West Washington Boulevard.
Investigators believe he is the same suspect wanted for the
attempted abduction of two children on August 10, 2015.

The victim was walking on the south sidewalk when the suspect,
seated in a white, Chevrolet van with tinted windows spoke to her.
The suspect displayed pornographic images on a cell phone then said
to the victim in Spanish, “Get in the van, or you know what will
happen.” The victim observed a blue steel handgun on the center
console of the van and the suspect’s pants to be down, exposing his
genitals. She immediately left the location and called 911. She
last saw the suspect drive north on Oxford Avenue from Washington
Boulevard.

The suspect is described as a male Hispanic, light complexion,
black hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 7 inches tall, 170 pounds, 30-40
years of age, wearing a brown wide brimmed hat, a light blue polo
type shirt with white stripes, and blue jeans. Additionally the
suspect was described as having dental braces with blue rubber
bands, a light brown mustache and pot belly.

Possible suspect vehicle

The suspect was driving an older model, white Chevrolet, Astro, van
with tinted windows and a white utility rack on the roof. The
fleeing suspect vehicle was captured on video and will be available
to the media.
