On Sunday, August 25, 2024, at approximately 8:41 p.m., Bradley University Police and Peoria Police responded to a reported aggravated assault that had just occurred in the Geisert Parking Lot, located at 911 N. Duryea Place.
The victim, who is not affiliated with Bradley University, had just arrived in a vehicle and was confronted by the suspect who was also in a vehicle. An argument about driving ensued and then the suspect briefly revealed a firearm. The suspect did not point the firearm at the victim. The suspect then re-entered his vehicle and left the area.
The suspect was the front passenger in a silver sedan. The silver sedan was last seen northbound on N. University Street away from campus.
This appears to be an isolated incident and there is no imminent threat to campus.
