Another woman reported later being robbed in an Overland Park parking lot by an armed man. He ran after she refused to get into his car.

A third woman said she was accosted while running in Leawood. He fled when she yelled for help.

The man is described as being Hispanic, in his 20s and about 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 10 inches tall. In two cases, he was described as wearing a tight, possibly long-sleeve black shirt and baggy black shorts.
