Police have released little information about a home invasion robbery and possible sexual assault that occurred in Oxford Circle on April 3, but they seek the public’s help in identifying one of the culprits.
The incident occurred at about 2:20 a.m. on the 6100 block of Shisler St. when two men allegedly broke into an occupied rowhouse. Patrol officers went to the scene and arrested one man on location, but a second suspect fled. Detectives obtained surveillance video of the unknown wanted man.
The clip shows the suspect apparently tampering with the lock on an outdoor storage container before exiting the field of view. Police did not release a description of the suspect who appeared in the grainy black-and-white video. His race is unknown. He has short dark hair and a dark Sunni style beard. He wore a long-sleeve shirt of unknown color over a white t-shirt and long pants of unknown color.
Authorities did not release information about a victim or the nature of the crimes committed, although an introduction to the video describes the incident as a home invasion, robbery and sexual assault.
