San Jose police seeking kidnapping suspect

The San Jose Police Department is asking for the public’s help in locating a suspect involved in the kidnapping of a 13-year-old girl.

Police hope this sketch, along with a description of the suspect's clothes, will help identify the potential kidnapper.

According to police, the victim was walking in the area of East St. James and North 33rd streets at about 6:10 a.m. last Friday when the incident occurred. The victim told police the suspect grabbed her and dragged her into a residential driveway.

The victim screamed and fought back, officials say, and the suspect released her. He was last seen fleeing down St. James Street towards North King Road.

The suspect is described as being Hispanic, between 25 and 35 years old and about 5’10” with a medium build. He had black hair, brown eyes, and a mustache and spoke English, authorities say. He was wearing a dark blue hooded sweatshirt with the hood over his head, blue “Dickies” pants, and brown work shoes splattered with white paint. No suspect vehicle was observed.

Police have released a composite sketch of the suspect and are asking anyone with information on this case to contact them at (408) 277-4166. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers at (408) 947-7867.
