Police Seeking Sexual-Assault Suspects

are seeking multiple suspects in a sexual assault that happened last week.

The incident occurred Oct. 19 at 2 p.m. near the 800 block of Pico Boulevard. While walking in that area, a woman was grabbed from behind by three individuals, who then dragged her into the alley on the northeast corner of Pico and Lincoln Boulevard.

In the alley, the perpetrators sexually assaulted her and tried to take off her clothing. The victim fought off the perpetrators and fled.

Police have identified three suspects, all of whom are male.

The first suspect is a Hispanic male in his 30. He has black hair and a buzz cut, and was wearing a white T-shirt, black Dickies shorts and white socks at the time of the assault.

The second suspect is a Hispanic male in his mid-30s. He has a tattoo of a skull on his left forearm, was wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans.

The third suspect is a white male in his late 30s. He was wearing a long-sleeve black shirt over a white T-shirt, black Dickies shorts and white basketball shoes.

Police have also identified a vehicle possibly associated with the suspects: an older model Cadillac that has four doors and is brown.
