The suspect is thought to be in his late teens to early 20s and was wearing a black ski mask, black Adidas hooded sweatshirt, black sweatpants, white socks, black, royal blue, and white running sneakers, and is armed with a black semi-automatic handgun. Police released a picture of this suspect.

On March 31, police blocked off a street before daybreak after they say a man walking home from work appeared to be forced into an SUV overnight.

The scene played out along East Godfrey Avenue, near Summerdale Avenue, in the Summerdale section of Northeast Philadelphia around 2:10 a.m., police said.

Witnesses told police that a black SUV, possibly a newer model Ford Explorer, pulled up next to the victim as he walked home from work, investigators said.

Two men then "exited the vehicle and then forced the victim inside the vehicle, point of gun."

The SUV then drove off eastbound on Godfrey Ave. Police released a photo of the vehicle.

Investigators blocked off Godfrey Street on Friday, March 31, for several hours and appeared to be focused on a parked white SUV.

Police are looking for at least three unknown males in connection with this abduction. The victim is still missing, and police have had no contact with the victim or suspects. Police released a photo of the victim.

The offenders are considered armed and dangerous, police said.
