Milwaukee police are asking for the public’s help to track down a man they say sexually assaulted a child last Saturday in the 4100 block of W. Lisbon Avenue, near Washington Park. The suspect is described as an Asian male, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, with a slender, unkempt appearance, medium-length curly black hair and an ataxic gait.
Photos and a detailed description released
In a Facebook post, the Milwaukee Police Department shared photos along with a detailed list of identifiers in hopes someone recognizes the man. According to the Milwaukee Police Department, he was wearing a desert-camouflage long-sleeve button-up shirt over a red-and-white flannel, dark pants, black winter boots and a tan or dark winter-style cap with gold or yellow lettering on the back. Police say he was last seen in the Washington Park area and that the case remains an active investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Milwaukee police at (414) 935-7401.
Where the incident happened
The 4100 block of West Lisbon runs through Milwaukee’s Washington Park neighborhood, a longtime West Side community built around an Olmsted-designed park and a busy Lisbon Avenue corridor, according to the Encyclopedia of Milwaukee. That means investigators are working in a densely residential stretch where nearby homes, businesses and park visitors may have seen something or captured useful footage.
How to report tips
Police are urging anyone with information, including photos or video, to contact the department at (414) 935-7401. To remain anonymous, tipsters can call Crime Stoppers at (414) 224-TIPS or use the P3 Tips app, per the Milwaukee Police Department. Investigators say all tips will be reviewed as part of the ongoing case.
Authorities have not released additional details about the victim or any arrest. Residents in the area are being asked to check home security systems or doorbell cameras and report anything that might help identify the suspect.
