Two Kenner men are under arrest and a third suspect wanted for the rape of a juvenile under the age of 13. Kenner Police Commander of Criminal Investigations Michael Cunningham says the three suspects were home alone with the victim when they began making sexual advances to the child, offering money for sex. The victim then locked herself in her room.
“One of the three had used something to unlock the door. The three came into the room and basically what she said was is they undressed her, held her down, and all three of them sexually assaulted her,” said Cunningham.
The two arrested have been identified as brothers Raul and Wilmer Paz-Perez, both 35, and 31-year-old Elder Paz-Perez is still on the loose.
Cunningham says the suspect that is on the run was in a relationship with the mother of the victim.
“They all live in the same household and there was another sister in the household. We’re possibly opening a second investigation,” said Cunningham.
Cunningham asks that anyone with information on the whereabouts of Elder Paz-Perez contact law enforcement or Crime Stoppers.
“He’ll probably be hiding in a Hispanic community if he hasn’t left the state yet. We’ve been offered assistance from federal agencies in trying to track him down,” said Cunningham.
