Assault Arrests
Sacramento Police Department Investigators
have arrested four juveniles responsible for the assault of a 74 year-old
adult that occurred on July 31, 2005. The victim was brutally attacked
by multiple suspects while delivering the Sacramento Bee Newspaper in the
area of Modell Way and Mosby Avenue. The suspects were identified
after Sacramento Police Department officers stopped a stolen, red, 2002
Honda Civic at Lindsay and Norwood Avenues at 5:10 a.m. on July 31, 2005.
The driver, 15 years old, was arrested for possession of the stolen vehicle.
Officers attempted to connect the subjects with the assault of the Sacramento
Bee carrier, but were unable to confirm their involvement at the time.
Further investigation revealed that all four subjects were in fact responsible
for the attack.
Investigators have identified the other
vehicle involved (blue, Isuzu Rodeo) and are possibly looking for a fifth
suspect.
The three juveniles have been booked at
the Sacramento County Juvenile Hall on charges of Attempt Robbery, Attempt
Car Jacking, Assault, and Elder Abuse. Their names will not be released
due to their age. The fourth juvenile who was already in custody
for the stolen vehicle was also charged with the aforementioned charges
Anyone with information regarding this
case is requested to call Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP or (800) AA-CRIME.
Callers may remain anonymous and are eligible for up to a $1,000 reward.
