Alright, all units in the 24th, can you survey the area, 2900 Roof Street, for a White male, 5'8", gauges in his ear, tattoos on his right arm, wearing all black. Male's going to be armed with a knife. Was last seen northbound on roof towards Orleans, possibly at McPherson Square. Repeating in the 24th. Time element's going to be about a half hour. Alright, received. About a half hour ago. Again, we're going to be looking for a White male, 5'8", gauges in his ear, tattoos on his right arm, wearing all black. Armed with a knife, fled on foot northbound towards Orleans from... Ruth.

K-7. K-7. Regards to this, I got some flash for you, ready? Proceed. Going to be a white male, all black clothing, approximately 5'8 height. Going to have cane in his ear and, uh, got two sleeveless on the left arm. It sounds like he found a burgess on it.
