-Niagara Falls Police responded to 20th and Independence Avenue in the evening hours of Sunday, July 14th, 2019, after receiving calls for a domestic disturbance and possible suspect with a loaded gun. According to reports, the 911 caller reported that a female was screaming inside a house and was being followed by who was carrying a long gun on his shoulder. When officers arrived on scene they observed a male matching the description given by the 911 caller. Upon approaching the male and asking if he was armed, the suspect refused to answer then attempted to walk away from officers. While attempting to detain the male, his 16-year-old sister tried to hit one of the arresting officers while screaming “don’t touch my brother.” The juvenile was taken into custody along with her brother who was identified as Dequan Moore.

-Residents of Deveaux were alerted to a suspected suspicious person last week after a series of home invasions. Reported incidents increased as of July 2019, prompting police to issue a public warning to residents. Incidents predominately occurred in the 2700-2900 blocks of McKoon Avenue.

The suspect has been described as a black male, light-skinned, approximately 5’9”-6’0” tall, medium build, 30-45 years old and normally gains entry via unlocked windows or unlocked doors. He has been observed sitting inside the residences when victims are asleep but, oddly, has not attempted to cause physical injury. The suspect has returned to the homes on multiple occasions when residents are out leaving all of the doors to the home open. Niagara Falls Police announced that they captured the suspect over the past few days.
