Rapist attacks in Downtown Miami

A gun-wielding man kidnapped a tourist couple in downtown Miami Monday morning, raping the woman for 45 minutes before making the pair drive the streets looking for someone else to rob, police said.
When the attacker spotted a potential victim walking the streets, he got out of their car and the couple sped off.
''We're looking for a terrible predator,'' said Miami Detective William Moreno, a spokesman.
The attacker is described as a clean-shaven, slim black man in his 20s, about six-foot-two with bald or close-cropped hair. He was wearing blue jeans, a white tank top and red-white-and-black sneakers.
Moreno gave this account of the incident:
Just after 1 a.m., the couple was parking at a meter on Biscayne Boulevard near Northeast Fourth Street when the man confronted them. Pointing a chrome or silver handgun, he forced them back into the car.
For the next 45 minutes, the attacker raped the woman inside the car while holding the man at bay with the weapon.
''At one point, he hit the male with it,'' Moreno said. ``He made it very clear he had a gun and had no problem using it.''
Then, he made them drive around while searching for another victim.
The attacker spotted a chain-wearing man walking on Biscayne Boulevard near Northeast Second Street. Ordering them to stop, the attacker jumped out of the car -- and the couple escaped, speeding off to call police.
The third victim also called police, Moreno said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Miami's special victims unit at 305-579-6630 or Miami-Dade Crimestoppers at 305-471-8477.

I don't know if you live in Miami...but the sad thing is that guy fits the description of probably over 1,000,000 people in Miami-Dade and Broward Countys. It sucks and I hope they catch the guy. My thoughts go out to the victims...

Let's see: Biscayne Blvd downtown at parking meter at 1 AM in the morning - what's wrong with this picture? Family moved there in 1956 - I wouldn't have done that then, let alone in 2007!!! I wonder if the valet fee looms so large now.
