"We are investigating this serious crime and will continue our police presence in the North End area to provide a safe environment to the residents of our city," Police Chief Wayne Williams said in a statement.
The police chief said the lack of witnesses, as well as uncooperative victims, is making their investigation difficult.
"Having information on a major incident and not providing that information does a disservice to the victim and the community as a whole," Williams said.
