On Monday, January 8, 2007,
at about 6:30 p.m., a man driving a white
SUV drove up to three elementary school aged
girls who were standing in front of Edison
School at 2425 Kansas Ave. The man stared
and winked at the girls who quickly ran away
and hid in adjacent bushes. The man yelled
out words to the effect, “Too bad you
ducked, I was going to give you a gift, but
I guess not.” The man drove off westbound
Kansas Ave.

described as a white SUV with tinted
windows, having a white license plate which
begins with “4” and ends with “7”. The man
is described as having brown skin, in his
30’s, balding dark hair, a mustache, a hoop
earring in his left ear, and a tattoo of
possibly flowers or a dragon on his right
forearm. He appeared to be heavy set and
wearing a gray t-shirt. If this suspect and
