✨ Key Highlights
- Philadelphia police have identified Zymire Hughes, 22, as the suspect accused of terrorizing women on the city's streets while wearing a creepy Chucky-style baby doll Halloween mask.
- An active arrest warrant has been issued for Hughes, and authorities warn he may have fled Pennsylvania, noting he has connections to California and Nevada.
- The incidents reportedly occurred last Wednesday near City Hall, with surveillance footage allegedly capturing Hughes chasing people and yelling at a woman, asking if she was "ready to die."
- One intended victim, Jameka Wilson, who is trained in combat, fought back by kicking Hughes hard in the chest, causing him to stumble and flee; a local Dunkin' Donuts also refused him service because of the mask.
- Police describe Hughes as a Black male with medium complexion, standing 5-foot-8 with a thin build, and last seen wearing a white Chucky-style mask and carrying a black-and-blue plaid backpack.
The suspected masked menace who is accused of terrorizing women around the streets of Philadelphia last week is actively trying to avoid law enforcement, officials said Thursday. Â
