Reavis Student ‘Cyberstalked’ By Burbank Man: Police

BURBANK, IL — A 19-year-old Burbank man is accused of sending threatening Snapchat messages to a 16-year-old Reavis High School student. Alaa Muzyed appeared before Cook County Judge John Mahoney on a felony charge of cyberstalking. The student claims he does not know Muzyed.

Around 12:40 p.m. Aug. 27, the student said he received Snapchat messages from a user who identified himself as “alaamuzyed.” The prosecutor said that Muzyed told the 16-year-old that he was sent by another 17-year-old Reavis student. Muzyed is also said to have sent a photo of himself pointing a pistol, threatening to shoot the 16-year-old and rape his sisters.

School administrators were notified of the threats, who contacted Burbank police. Muzyed turned himself into Burbank police on Aug. 28.

“There was no threat made to the school and the student body, Burbank Division Chief Mike Dudlo said in an email. “The offender only threatened one student who we believe to have had
their paths cross at some point.”

Bail was set at $100,000. Muzyed’s next court appearance is Sept. 26 in Bridgeview.
