Kansas City, Mo. ? Black men in Kansas City’s Waldo neighborhood say they feel like they are under a microscope as area residents look for a serial rapist accused of attacking five women since late September.

Police have released an artist’s sketch of a man victims have described as 6 feet tall, 250 pounds with pitted skin, bad breath and smelling like exhaust fumes.

The latest victim was attacked in her home early Monday morning in a neighborhood about three miles from Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza, an upscale shopping and entertainment district best known for its annual Christmas lighting display.

With residents on edge in Waldo, a middle-class neighborhood of primarily older homes in south Kansas City, black men say they’re under constant scrutiny even if they’re not even close to resembling the suspected rapist’s description.

“It’s like I have a scarlet letter on me,” a 32-year-old Waldo resident said. “I feel like everyone is looking at me like I could be the guy.”

The man, a business owner who said he is well-known in the community but didn’t want to be identified in the story, said detectives who came to his home last week told him four people had given police his name. On Tuesday, after the latest rape, investigators showed up at his office and asked questions about where he had been the night before.

At 2 inches shorter and 65 pounds lighter than the suspect’s description, the man said he was embarrassed and angry after the second interrogation, which happened in front of co-workers.

“I asked them, ‘Are you guys just going to interview every black guy who lives around here?'”

Police have received more than 400 tips and have said they are investigating about 75 people who could be the attacker.

On Wednesday, a black man who says he got lost in the Waldo neighborhood was followed to Kansas City, Kan., by someone who thought he roughly resembled the sketch of the rapist.

The person who followed him said he was on the phone with 911 for about 40 minutes while he followed the car, hoping police would intervene and question the driver.

Instead, the pursuer told police the man stopped at a Kansas City, Kan., house, then fired two shots at him.

But a man who identified himself as the one who was followed told a local television station that he had gotten lost and was trying to find U.S. 71 when he noticed he was being followed.

“I could’ve been killed that day because of one person trying to be a GI Joe or something,” said the man, who identified himself to KCTV only as Jason.

On Thursday, police urged Waldo residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities or persons to police, but not to take matters into their own hands.
