A 13-year-old boy was attacked in Everett by a 6-foot-tall black male wearing a grey sweatshirt and yellow beanie. Despite a police search with a K9 and drone, the suspect remains at large. Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin said, "I am absolutely heartbroken about the 13-year-old who was attacked this morning. As a mom who walked her daughter to school along the exact same route every day, I’m horrified by this violent act," and assured the public that the police are working to restore safety, as reported by the Everett Police Department.
Investigators with the Major Crimes Unit were dispatched to the incident location to begin the extensive process of their investigation, gathering evidence and statements.
