Two Logan Heights schools were placed on lockdown Friday as San Diego police searched for a suspect who stole shoes from a student on campus.
The Logan Memorial Educational Complex, which encompasses several educational centers including a high school and a middle school, was placed on lockdown at about noon. The schools remained on lockdown at 1:30 p.m. as San Diego police scanned the area for the suspect.
Police said a suspect in a ski mask approached a student, who was on the football field while the middle school was on its lunch period. The man held up a knife and demanded the student give him his red shoes, which the student did. The suspect then fled, SDPD said.
A suspect has not yet been publicly identified or located. San Diego police are investigating.
