City police are searching for the occupants of a burgundy van with temporary tags who witnesses say took a man from his front porch Wednesday night.
A witness told police that the man was sitting on his front porch in the 2300 block of Lauretta Ave. when the van pulled up and several people with guns forced the man from his porch into the van, said Agent Donny Moses, Police Department spokesman.
Moses said homicide is investigating, which is standard procedure in an abduction investigation.
He said police have tentatively identified the abducted man, but have not verified it yet.
