The man was described as 35–45 years old, approximately 6 feet tall and was wearing a navy blue hooded sweatshirt and gray sweatpants. He was last seen heading north on Ostrom Avenue, according to DPS.

In addition, an SU student reported a burglary inside his residence on the 200 block of Ostrom Avenue on Wednesday around 12:13 p.m.



The student said that after entering his house, he encountered a man inside his residence, DPS said. The man left the student’s house, located between Madison Street and Harrison Street, after being confronted. The man was described as 30–40 years old, approximately 5 feet, 10 inches tall and was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, a green T-shirt and light colored pants.
