UPDATE: A juvenile suspect was arrested late Thursday, March 23rd.

ORIGINAL STORY:

The suspect in the stabbing assault of a Parker High School employee on Tuesday night is still not in custody and is wanted by police.

  11. I don’t understand why they think he’s 16.. He’s pretty tall for his age. Such a shame that no one knows who he is with it being such a small town..

  18. Hopefully they will check the absentee list at school tomorrow and narrow it down and compose a photo line up of sorts for the victim to look thru to see if she recognizes her attacker. This is so awful ????????????

  20. His hair cut looks like a barbershop cut. Unless that is a hat

  22. Why would they say a 16 year old white guy? This person in the picture I highly doubt is 16 and far from looking white. Just because he wore a Parker High School shirt does not mean he is a student. Come on . Now Parker P.D. is saying the person in the picture may not be the suspect, but he is a person of interest? WTF!

  24. That photo line up can also maybe be thru a year book???? Picking out the few that matched his description that way it doesn’t add any confusion. … ????

  25. I’m afraid to say this but I’m thinking maybe Parker, has a wanna-be serial killer on their hands . This is not the first time someone has been stabbed in Parker, always near the High School, that has not been caught.

  26. There is a deeper issue lying in Parker. This woman who was stabbed, I’m thinking is just one of the many. And possibly more to come, if this continues.

  40. Why don’t they see who is absent tomorrow and identify his eye color and his hair? And maybe you might find out who it is.

  41. I don’t think our kids should
    Go back to school until he is caught. If he did this to an adult woman who’s to say he won’t go to school and hurt more kids

  42. This town is way too small for SOMEONE not to know this person or helped him get outta town! I always loved Parker because we pulled together as a community to stop unnecessary bs. Town..people of town need to pull it together now. I haven’t felt safe living in town for the last few years..so want to move. Never thought I’d feel this way! It sucks!
