On March 13 an aggravated rape in the 4800 Block of Magazine (between Valence and Cadiz) was reported. While details are still sketchy, the gist is that a woman was upstairs inside of her home when she was approached by a black male. He accosted her, they struggled all the way down the stairs until she was able to run outside and alert neighbors. Several neighbors saw the man leaving the property and chased him for a block or so, but then lost site of him. The NOPD addressed the incident and we are told that a nearby business may have captured him on video.
