On June 28th at approximately 10:15 p.m. officers responded to a 911 call from an employee at a bar in the 8500 Block of 15th Avenue NW.  The caller stated that he believed one of the patrons inside the bar looked very similar to the suspect depicted in surveillance photos released to the media last week from the Greenwood abduction and rape incident. 

Officers arrived and asked the suspect to step outside so they could talk.  The suspect professed to not knowing much English, so the officer pulled up a picture of the suspect from a media site on his cellphone and asked, “Is this you?” to which the suspect replied “yes.”  The officers quickly took the suspect into custody and during a patdown of the suspect recovered a loaded handgun in the suspect’s waistband.

Officers located the suspect’s car nearby and it matched the description of the suspect vehicle used in the abduction/rape.  The car was impounded for processing.  Detectives from the Sexual Assault Unit responded and interviewed the suspect at the precinct.

The 24 year old male suspect was subsequently booked into the King County Jail for Investigation of Rape. 

During the course of the ongoing investigation into the Greenwood abduction and rape case, it was confirmed on June 30th that the suspect was also involved in several recent armed robberies. 
The second suspect in this case is still outstanding. 

Anyone with information on that suspect is asked to contact the Seattle Police Department’s Sexual Assault Unit at (206) 684-5575
