REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE:

University of Missouri Police Department officers are seeking assistance from the community in identifying two suspects from a recent assault case. At approximately 1:30 a.m., Feb. 14, two white males got into a verbal argument with two individuals on the porch of the Farm House Fraternity on Kentucky Boulevard. After the argument ended, the two males walked through parking lot HSC 1, on the east side of Crowder Hall, and were assaulted by two male subjects. 

The victims believe the suspects were same individuals from the porch of the Farm House Fraternity. Due to statements made by the suspects during the assault, it is believed they are associated with the Farm House Fraternity. The suspects are described as white males, taller than 5’ 9”, who were wearing dark colored clothing the night of the assault.
