APD SVU Seeks Public’s Help In Assault Case

The Amarillo Police Department’s Special Victims Unit (SVU) is seeking the community’s help in identifying a suspect involved in an attack on a local woman.

The incident occurred early Sunday morning, November 24, 2024, between 3:30 AM and 5:00 AM. The victim was walking to work near SW 34th Avenue and Royal Drive when a man attacked her from behind near the west alley. The woman successfully fought off her attacker, and the suspect fled the scene on foot, last seen in the 3400 block of Royal Drive.

The victim reported seeing the man earlier driving a silver minivan before he approached her on foot.

The SVU is asking residents in the area to review any outside security camera footage for images of the suspect walking, running, or driving a silver minivan in the vicinity of SW 34th Avenue, Royal Drive, and the west alley during that time frame.
