TAMPA, FL. – Deputies are asking for the public’s help in locating a suspect who forced a victim into an apartment and tried to sexually assault her.
On March 8, 2022, around 7 pm, a suspect forced a female victim into her apartment on the 4400 block of Club Captiva Drive in Tampa and used a stun gun on her. The suspect then tried to take the victim’s pants off but took off running when the victim started screaming. The suspect fled the area in an unknown direction.
The suspect is described as a Spanish-speaking man between 35-40 years of age. He’s of medium build with an olive complexion, clean-shaven, brown eyes, short black hair with some gray in the front.
He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, black basketball shorts, and yellow Nike sneakers. He has a 1/2 scar on the outside of his left eye.
“The actions of this suspect are disgusting, violent, and dangerous. We commend the bravery of the victim for coming forward and reporting him to law enforcement,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “This is a man that needs to get taken off the streets immediately.”
If you have any information about this suspect, you are urged to contact the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office at (813) 247-8200.
