Overview
- Tedrick Boone, 34, made his initial court appearance on March 3 and faces counts of first-degree sexual assault with use of a dangerous weapon and armed robbery.
- The complaint says a 19-year-old student was threatened with a handgun around 1:40 a.m. on Feb. 18 near N. 14th Street and Kilbourn Avenue, sexually assaulted, and robbed of her phone.
- Investigators report a Feb. 25 DNA match from the victim’s SANE kit, plus surveillance video showing a man matching the suspect guiding the victim into an alcove.
- Police recovered a tan coat under a porch with a modified plastic pistol inside and found a used condom nearby, with a gun later described as plastic at 14th and Highland.
