The Prince George's County Police Department is asking for our
community's help in identifying the suspect who sexually assaulted an elderly
woman in her Riverdale home. Detectives will revisit the neighborhood
today at 6:00 pm to pass out flyers and speak to members of the community.
On February, 21, 2014, at about 9:40 pm, patrol officers were called
to the 6100 block of 63rd Avenue for the report of a sexual assault. When they
arrived, they learned the victim had just been sexually assaulted by a man who
broke into her home. The victim heard someone in her house and when
she went to check on the noise, the suspect grabbed and sexually assaulted
her. He then ran from the home.
Responding patrol officers immediately conducted an extensive
neighborhood canvas. A K9 team was also brought in to try to track
the suspect.
"All sexual assaults are intolerable, but for a man to target
such a vulnerable member of our community is egregious. Our
detectives are committed to finding and arresting this suspect," said
Chief Mark Magaw.
The suspect is described as a hispanic or Pacific Islander male, 20
years old, about 5'2", 150 pounds with dark curly hair.
Anyone with information on this sexual assault is urged to contact
the Prince George's County Police Department's Sexual Assault Unit at
301-772-4908. Callers wishing to remain anonymous may call Crime
Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS. Crime Solvers is offering a cash reward
for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this
case. Tipsters never have to give their name.

Police Department's Media Relations Division at 301-772-4710.
