Chicago police are searching for two men after one of them sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl at gunpoint in Ravenswood Manor on Friday night.
The girl and a female friend were walking in the neighborhood when they noticed two men following them around 9:21 p.m., CPD said. Once the men realized they had been spotted, they began chasing the girls and eventually caught up with them in the 2900 block of West Wilson Avenue.
Police said one of the men dragged the 15-year-old into an alley and sexually assaulted her while threatening her with a gun. The second man held the girl’s friend at knifepoint to stop her from intervening.
A nearby resident later heard a commotion and rushed the teens into their home for safety. The attackers fled on foot, last seen heading east toward Francisco Avenue.
CPD described the man who sexually assaulted the girl as “Black Hispanic,” about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, 170 to 200 pounds, wearing a Nike tech jacket, dark pants, and dark gym shoes. His accomplice was described as “White Hispanic,” 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall, 135 to 150 pounds, also wearing a Nike tech jacket, dark pants, and gym shoes.
