An individual who matches the description of the assailant in yesterday’s sexual assault is in custody. UHPD arrested the suspect last night near the scene. We are unable to release anything further at this time, including the identity of the suspect, as this is an ongoing criminal investigation.
Effective immediately, the University of Houston Police Department has four officers assigned to 24/7 patrols at the Welcome Center Garage. The UH Executive Steering Committee on Safety and Security is meeting to develop a comprehensive plan with both immediate and long-term strategies. We will continue to provide updates as new information becomes available.
