UPDATE | July 20, 2017 10:20PM
The Dallas Police Department made an arrest July 20, 2017 for a sexual assault offense that happened on July 18, 2017 in the 2900 block of Kenedale Drive. Due to the ongoing investigation and the possibility the suspect is linked to other offenses, they didn't release his name.
DALLAS (CBSDFW) - Dallas police are looking for a man they say may be responsible for at least two rapes and robberies.
Dallas police Deputy Chief Thomas Castro said a 23-year-old woman called police after he forced his way into her apartment on the 2900 block of Kendale Drive and raped her. He even threatened to harm her children. During the assault, a witness knocked on the door asking for the victim. The suspect said that the victim was not home.
He fled the location on foot after the assault and was observed by the witness leaving. The suspect also stole property from victim's home when he left.
Police described the suspect as a Latin male in his 20s, heavy-set, with tattoos on his forearms and short spiky hair.
He was wearing a black t-shirt with "Thug Life" written on it. He spoke both English and Spanish.
"It's a good possibility that these cases are related. We don't have anything forensically or evidence that links positively, but there are very strong similarities and we felt we needed to get these cases out," said Castro.
