Dear Lafayette Families -
|
We were alerted late last night that there was an attempted kidnapping of a Deal student on Monday morning (1/22/18) in the 3700 block of Davenport Street NW.
|
Metropolitan Police Department shared the following information:
|
"At approximately 8:05 am, a juvenile victim was walking, to school, at the listed location. The suspect approached the victim from behind. The suspect grabbed the victim and lifted her off the ground. After a brief struggle, the victim was able to escape, and fled the scene.
|
The suspect is described as a white male, 50 to 70 years old, approximately 5’7” in height, skinny with a muscular build. The suspect had a full gray beard. The suspect was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt, black sweatpants, black boots, and a black hat rolled up on his head. He may be operating an older black car with tinted windows."

The full link to the safety alert can be found here. Both MPD and DCPS school police are on alert and working to provide extra support.
|
If your child walks to school, please remind them of several important safety tips, including walking with another person and sticking to the route you and your student have agreed upon. Please see more safety tips for walkers here.
|
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. Remember - see something, say something. Being in tune with our environment as a community is a powerful tool for keeping us safe.
