BOSTON — Police arrested Louis D. Coleman III in connection with the kidnapping of Jassy Correia, a 23-year-old mother of a 2-year-old.

Coleman was arrested in Delaware Thursday afternoon, Boston and Providence Police confirmed just after 5:30 p.m.

Coleman was identified as a person of interest early Thursday afternoon. According to police, Coleman was seen in Providence that same day.

There was a heavy police presence at a Chestnut Street apartment building, where Coleman lives, throughout the day on Thursday.

According to WPRI's Tim White, Coleman was seen on security footage carrying Correia into the apartment building, then leaving with two suitcases. Correia was not seen leaving the building, nor were police able to locate her within the building, he said.

Providence police searched the dumpster and trash area of the building during the investigation. At this time, an official statement has not been released.

Correia was last seen around 12:15 a.m. Sunday shortly after leaving the Venu Nightclub near 255 Tremont St. in Boston with a man later identified by police as Coleman.

Her father told NECN that he called his daughter Tuesday to wish her happy birthday, but she didn't answer. That's what prompted the call to police.

“If I don’t see my daughter, I don’t know how I’m going to live,” said Joaquin Correia through tears. “I feel bad. She told me, ‘Daddy, I’m going to go out.’”

Coleman is a systems engineer at Raytheon in Waltham.

"As this is a criminal investigation we defer any further inquiries to law enforcement. We are cooperating fully with the investigation," said a Raytheon spokesperson in an email to Patch.
