CPD Lt. Jonathan Cunningham said two BLACK people — 18-year-old Jadin Shaw and a 14-year-old boy — have been arrested for the assault. Both are charged with robbery, according to the incident report.
“This incident is very disturbing to watch,” Cunningham said. “It is not OK to do what this group of individuals did to this victim. Two individuals have been arrested and must be held accountable for their actions.”
Cunningham asked parents and guardians of children and teens that frequent downtown to have a conversation with them explaining that this behavior is “vicious, completely unacceptable and harmful to our communities.
“We must know where our children are and who they associate themselves with,” Cunningham said.
Cunningham also asked for the public’s help going forward.
Here’s how Cunningham said others could help:
- Call 911 immediately if you witness an offense occur
- When possible, without putting yourself in danger, be a good witness
- If you have video evidence of such crimes, contact the appropriate CPD District Investigative Unit and make it available to investigators
