Police seek man in kidnapping, rape

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is looking for a man accused of kidnapping and raping a woman Friday morning before dropping her at Indianapolis International Airport.

IMPD officials say they are looking for a black man between 25 and 30 years old with a medium build. He’s reportedly 5-foot-10 and 150 pounds and told the victim he graduated from Ben Davis High School. The man was reportedly wearing a camouflage hat with the name Neal on it and was carrying a semiautomatic gun. The victim told police the man was driving a 2002 blue Pontiac Grand Prix. The car had a new vehicle tag, a cracked windshield and a Colts sticker in the rear window.

The victim told police the man took her to two different banks to try to use her ATM card, before taking her to a wooded area on the south side, where he sexually assaulted her.

The woman said she was taken from the 4700 block of Copen Court around 5:15 a.m. and was sexually assaulted near Raymond Street and Bethel Avenue. She was dropped at the airport around 7:30 a.m. Friday.

It’s unclear whether the woman knew the man or if it was a random encounter.

Police ask anyone with information to call 911 or Crime Stoppers at 317-262-TIPS.
