"My daughter goes here and my granddaughter goes here and I just heard that there's a suspect around. There's deaf kids here too -- and I am concerned about the kids that go here as they walk home and go to school. Some of them can't hear," a parent said.



Police say the suspect, described as a black man, approximately 25 years old, standing 5'5" to 6" tall with a husky build, short hair and a medium complexion sexually assaulted a woman who was walking in the area.

The suspect then fled the scene.

He was last seen wearing a light blue and gray hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and dark shoes. He had a diamond studded earring in his left ear.

Police believe he was responsible for a second sexual assault that happened more than 12 hours later -- around 7:20 p.m. near 76th and Hustis.

A woman was walking in the area when she was sexually assaulted.

Police were on scene for several hours gathering evidence, including surveillance footage from a nearby business.
