Trespass: At approximately 5:48 p.m. near the 29800 block of 20th Ave S., the homeowner’s son was inspecting the vacant rental and found an unidentified woman trespassing who left when the son challenged her. No one should be in the home right now as it is being repaired. The homeowner lives next door and is on hospice.

The sister advised to call anytime to verify if anyone found on the property is authorized.

The child was concious but crying with an obvious head injury. No foul play was found; this incident appears to have been an accident. The child was taken to Harbowview.

Possible carjacking: At approximately 1:25 p.m. near the 2100 block of SW 356th St., police were dispatched to a possible carjacking in progress at the Valero gas station. A man was seen getting into a newer black sedan with kids inside of it. No weapons were seen. The man then exited the car and left the scene on foot. The woman in the car declined police assistance. The woman then left the area and never called 911 to make a report. The man was later seen at Union Apartments, and the woman said the man was her uncle. The woman denied being at Valero and said she did not need assistance. The man left the apartments on foot and was not identified. The police report said this incident was unfounded.
