ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥PD is conducting an investigation into the alleged events of Wednesday night that spurred the dissemination of a Clery Act crime alert. During review of video footage in the area, investigators determined that a fight did occur but a robbery did not.
The investigation found that a man was playing music near the entrance to the pedestrian underpass at Broadway near College Avenue when the second man approached. The second man tried to walk away with the first man’s rolling suitcase. The first man tried to stop him and a fight ensued. The first man then packed up his equipment and left the area.
During the fight, the second man dropped his phone. After he left the area, an unknown third person saw the phone on the ground by itself, grabbed it and walked away. Police have interviewed the second man, who sustained injuries from the incident.
ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥PD would like to speak with the first man involved to learn further information. Video footage and witness accounts show him as a 19–21-year-old black male who was wearing a black shirt and pants with a gray vest. He also wore a black baseball cap with a red or orange bill.
Anyone who knows the man or witnessed this incident is asked to call ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥PD Investigations at 303-492-2408.
