| Richard Cedric Taylor |
Detectives from our Sexual Assault Unit are
seeking help from our community in locating a man wanted in connection with a
rape investigation. The suspect is 44-year-old Richard Cedric Taylor. His last
known address is the 3900 block of 28th Avenue in Temple Hills.
On June 6, 1999, at about 6:50 pm, the
preliminary investigation reveals the then 15-year-old victim was socializing
with mutual friends and Taylor who she did not know. Taylor offered to give the
victim a ride home. Instead of taking her home, the investigation reveals he
stopped at an empty apartment on Cindy Lane in Capitol Heights. While inside
that apartment, the suspect assaulted and raped the victim.
On September 8th, a DNA hit linked
the suspect to the crime. Detectives obtained a warrant for his arrest, however
have been unable to find Taylor. The suspect faces charges of second degree
rape along with first and second degree assault.
Detectives believe Taylor uses several
aliases, to include Damion Taylor, Demetrius Taylor and Michael Scott.
