The Dallas Police Department is asking for the public’s help locating a suspect in the kidnapping of two children from Sunday.
Leonard Lamar Neal, 41, is suspected in the kidnapping, aggravated kidnapping, and aggravated sexual assault of a child, according to police.
The kidnapping happened Sunday on Argentia Drive in south Dallas, at a complex off South Zang Boulevard near Interstate 35E.
