Authorities Seek 4 Rape Suspects

Oxnard police are seeking the public’s help in finding four men suspected of kidnaping a 13-year-old Oxnard girl at gunpoint and raping her, officials said.

Police on Monday issued a description of the four men and a vehicle they may have been driving during the attack. The victim was found lying unconscious on the front porch of a West Cedar Street home at 1:10 a.m. Friday, officials said.

The assailants are described as Latino men in their early 20s. One man is thin and long-faced, about 5 feet, 5 inches tall with thick eyebrows and a thin mustache; another is about 5 feet, 7 inches tall, heavy-set with a thick mustache and a round face; a third is about 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8 with short hair and a thin mustache; and the fourth man is described as 5 feet, 6 inches tall, thin, with short hair and an angular face.

The men were driving a maroon or dark-colored four-door Jeep Cherokee, possibly with tinted windows and light brown or tan interior, Detective Doug Wiley said.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Wiley at 385-7604 during daytime hours or the police operator at 385-7600.
