2 Robberies, 1 Sexual Assault Attempt: Decatur, Brookhaven Police

DECATUR, GA — Decatur and Brookhaven police departments need the public's help identifying a suspect believed to have committed two robberies and one attempted sexual assault in the two cities on March 7, police said Tuesday.

Decatur police responded to a parking garage at the 200 block of East Trinity Place just before 8 a.m. Sunday, after a female victim reported that she was robbed. The victim said she was approached by a man who asked for help entering the parking garage's apartment building.

The man then pointed a gun at her and demanded her belongings, to which the victim complied. She said the man then attempted to sexually assault her, but she fought him and escaped with a minor head injury, according to a Tuesday news release.

The suspect was described as a Black man, light complexion, about 5'6" and 200 pounds, and was reported to be wearing gloves, a dark-colored heavy jacket, full face-mask and armed with a silver revolver. He drove away in a red Cadillac CTS after the altercation with the victim.

Later that day, Brookhaven police responded to an armed robbery at the 4000 block of Summit Boulevard. A female victim said a red Cadillac attempted to follow her through the gate as she entered the parking deck, but was stopped by a barrier, the release said.

Shortly after, police said a Black man wearing blue pants, a blue-over-black hoodie, blue face covering and a black North Face jacket entered the parking deck and robbed the female victim. The release said the suspect had a silver revolver and struck the victim several times on the head with it before driving away in the red Cadillac.

Detectives from the Decatur and Brookhaven police departments are working together to identify the owner of the Cadillac and the photographed suspect. Anyone with information is asked to contact BPD at 404-637-0636 or DPD at 404-373-6551. To remain anonymous, anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta at 404-577-TIPS (8477).
