"While the individual did not have any contact with students, we want to remind everyone to avoid talking to strangers," said Chief Amador. "If anyone sees anything or anyone suspicious, tell a trusted adult and have them contact the proper authorities. As always, we ask students to stick to high-traffic areas, walk in groups, and walk straight to and from school."
Administrators reported the suspect is an African-American male in his late teens to early twenties with a scar on the right side of his face. They also told police he was wearing a gold-yellow hooded sweatshirt and dark pants.
GISD police immediately stepped up patrol efforts in the area as well as at other GISD schools as a precautionary measure and eventually apprehended the suspect. He was issued a written warning and told not to trespass on GISD property or face further action.
