July 9, 2013 - Houston police have arrested the third and final suspect wanted in the assault and kidnapping of a female at 8800 Lake Forest Boulevard about 2 a.m. on June 30.
The third suspect, Justin Darreal Johnson (b/m, DOB: 7-29-92), was taken into custody without incident about 3:50 p.m. today (July 9) and will be charged with kidnapping. The two other suspects, Roy Dean Griffin (b/m, DOB: 6-17-93) and Delton T. Sidney (b/m, DOB: 3-21-92), were arrested on Monday (July 8) and charged with kidnapping in the 180th State District Court. Photos of all three males are attached to this news release.
The female victim, 28, suffered non life-threatening injuries and escaped from the suspects.
The suspects were described only as black males, 20 to 25 years old. One (Sidney) was not wearing a shirt, had a Cowboys flat top cap and khaki shorts. A second suspect, the driver (Johnson), was wearing a gray T-shirt and black shorts. The third suspect (Griffin) was wearing a blue Adidas T-shirt and had a short dreadlocks hair style.
On July 3, investigators released surveillance video of the suspects on the HPD YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQoreIkEWo4.
HPD Homicide Division Sergeants M. Jewell, M. Dillingham and E. Cisneros reported:
The victim was involved in a verbal argument with her boyfriend at a convenience store at 9430 Mesa at Tidwell. She proceeded to get into a vehicle, possibly a dark colored Lexus, with three unknown black males and was then driven around the Lakewood Subdivision. During this time, the woman was physically assaulted and a rape attempt was also made before she was able to flee on foot from the three male suspects.
An investigation revealed the suspects and victim were seen on surveillance video at the Time Saver convenience store at the above address on Mesa.
After investigators released surveillance video to the public, a Crime Stoppers tip led to the identities of the three wanted suspects. Griffin had changed his appearance and cut his dreadlocks since the day of the incident.
