Los Angeles — (Video below) — 77th Area detectives are requesting the public’s help in identifying and locating the victim of a possible kidnapping.
On September 24, 2017 around 11:50 p.m., witnesses in the 100 block of West 79th Street heard someone yell for help. They saw a light gray four door sedan drive westbound on 79th Street, reverse and stop facing westbound. A male Hispanic in his 20s exited the front driver’s side door and approached a female Hispanic who was walking eastbound on the south sidewalk of 79th Street.
The male grabbed the female and carried her to the vehicle he had exited. He opened the front passenger door and put the female inside. The male closed the door and walked around the rear of the vehicle and entered the driver’s side again. The front passenger door opened and the female exited the vehicle, but was pulled back inside. The vehicle drove away westbound on 79th Street.
Witnesses told the police the vehicle had a Texas license plate, the first three numbers were possibly “763”.
The suspect is described as a male Hispanic in his 20s, 6 feet tall, about 200 pounds. Witnesses believe there may have been a second suspect in the vehicle.
