Help Identify - Attempted Kidnapping

The Sacramento Police Department is asking for the community’s help in identifying a suspect involved in an attempted kidnapping.   

On Wednesday, March 16, 2016, at 7:21 a.m. a 13-year-old female was walking to school when a dark colored, 4-door sedan pulled up next to her near the intersection of M Street and 45th Street.  The rear passenger exited the vehicle, displayed a firearm, and demanded that the victim get into the car.  The victim resisted the suspect’s efforts which drew the attention of a passing witness.  Once noticed, the suspect got back into the sedan and fled the area westbound on M Street. 

Suspect #1 (depicted below in composite sketch) is described as a mixed race (Black/Asian) male of light complexion, in his 20s, with acne scars on his face and a faint mustache.  He is approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall with a thin build.   He was last seen wearing a dark gray beanie and a burgundy hooded sweatshirt.

At this time, there is no description of the driver of the dark colored sedan.

The Sacramento Police Department encourages any witnesses with information regarding this attempted kidnapping to contact the dispatch center at (916) 264-5471 or Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP (4357) or submit an anonymous tip using the free “P3 Tips” smartphone app.  Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
