Last evening, an incident occurred on campus that should be brought to your attention.
At about 7:45 p.m., a female student was getting an item out of her car in Parking Lot 14C near the residence halls when a male suspect jumped out of a car and grabbed her by the arm. When she pulled away and made eye contact with the suspect, he let go of her, returned to the car and left the scene.
The female student immediately went to her residence hall and reported the incident to her R.A., who then contacted University Police. As soon as the report was called in, the determination was made to increase the number of police officers and CSOs on campus, and the Long Beach Police Department was notified. Additionally, information about the incident was provided to supervisors in the residence halls so that it could be shared with campus residents.
The suspect is described as a male of light skin tone in his mid-20s; between 5’5” and 6’ in height and of stocky build; with light-colored eyes and dark hair with a grown-out buzz cut; and with a mole on the right lower cheek and either acne or razor burn in the neck and chin area. The car in which he was a passenger is described as an early 1990s black Honda Civic.
If you have information helpful to this case, please call Detective John Leyva with the University Police at 562-985-4101.
While last evening’s incident ended quickly without injury to the victim, and even though Cal State Long Beach has an overall reputation for safety, it is important that we all remember to look out for our personal safety at all times.
Please, do not walk alone on campus. If you are alone in the evening, call for an escort at University Police or by using one of the Code Blue telephones on campus. Take a moment to program your cell phone with the number for University Police, 562-985-4101. If you see or hear something that doesn’t seem right, call that number. Stay focused and observant on everything and everyone around you.
By looking out for each other, as well as for ourselves, we can keep CSULB a safe campus for all of us.
Sincerely,
Jack Pearson
Chief of Police
