The University of Chicago has identified a person of interest in connection with a sexual assault that occurred early Sunday morning at the Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) fraternity house. The incident took place at approximately 1:50 a.m. during a party that began the previous evening at 10:30 p.m. The victim, who is not affiliated with the university, reported that the suspect fled the building after another individual intervened. University officials confirmed that the suspect is not affiliated with the University of Chicago and have banned them from campus. The identification was corroborated by key witness statements and video evidence from university cameras and license plate readers, which have been shared with the Chicago Police Department (CPD). The suspect is described as a 5-foot-7-inch South Asian male with a dark complexion, short hair on the sides, and longer curly hair on top. He was last seen wearing a black T-shirt, black jogging pants, and white shoes. A video posted on TikTok appeared to show the suspected perpetrator being followed away from the AEPi frathouse by a friend of the victim, matching the physical description released by the university. CPD stated that no arrests have been made and that investigations are ongoing. The AEPi fraternity chapter stated that no members were involved in the assault and are cooperating with authorities, while the national organization suspended chapter events until the investigations conclude. The university is also conducting its own review to determine if policy violations occurred and will initiate disciplinary actions as warranted. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the incident or the suspect to submit a tip through the Chicago Police Department’s online form or contact the University of Chicago Police Department.
