This week, CrimeStoppers and the University of Illinois Police Department (UIPD) are seeking your assistance with solving an armed robbery. On Thursday, May 15th, the victim reported he was walking on the U of I Quad when three black male subjects approached him. One of the black males displayed a knife and asked the victim to, “Walk with me”. The suspect directed the victim to the area between Noyes Lab and the Chemistry Annex buildings. Once there, the suspect demanded the victim’s backpack, which contained several books and the victim’s
U of I ID. Once the suspect had the backpack, he told the victim to begin walking south. Once the victim was a distance away, the suspect met up with the other two suspects, and they departed the area northbound.

Suspect #1 was described as a black male in his late 20’s, 5’10”, thin build, black hair, brown eyes, mustache, wearing dark clothing and a hooded sweatshirt. He was armed with a knife.

Suspect #2 was described as a black male, 5’7”, medium build, black hair, brown eyes, dark clothing, and wearing a mask that partially covered his face.

Suspect #3 was described as a black male, 6’2”, skinny build, black hair, brown eyes, dark clothing, and also wearing a mask that partially covered his face.
