Police believe there were likely more incidents during the three-year gap
when there were no cases reported to D.C. Police. They have shared a
photo of Ubom so that anyone who has been assaulted who recognizes him
may be able to come forward.

In most of the cases, he approached women on the street and often forced
them into alleyways to assault them, sometimes armed. In a few of the
cases, he entered apartment buildings to assault women. All of the cases
took place in Northwest D.C., and most were on 14th and 16th streets
Northwest.
