NOPD Releases Composite Sketch of
Suspect Wanted for
Aggravated Rape
NEW ORLEANS – The NOPD has released a
composite image of a suspect believed to be responsible for an aggravated rape at
the intersection of France Road and Almonaster Avenue on April
23, 2017.
At
around midnight, the victim was driving her vehicle when she suspected one of her tires had gone flat, so the victim pulled on the side of the road.
As she was inspecting her vehicle with a flashlight, the perpetrator
pictured in the composite sketch reportedly grabbed her from behind, dragged her to the
shoulder and sexually assaulted the victim.
After the attack, the perpetrator fled toward the Intracoastal Canal then
in an unknown direction.
The
suspect is described as a black male believed to be in his late 20s to early 30s, standing at approximately 5’11” to 6’1” in height with a stocky build. He is also described as having a brown complexion, unshaven face, as well as a wound to his lower
right side lip and musky smell. He
was last seen wearing a dark-colored long sleeve hooded sweatshirt with one pocket
on the front, dark-colored pants and tan-colored work boots.
Anyone with any information on this incident or the described
suspect is asked to contact the Sex Crimes Division at 504-658-5538 or anonymously to CrimeStoppers at 504-822-1111 or
toll free at 1-877-903-7867.
