Jacksonville, FL — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is asking for your help finding a man accused of forcing his way in to a Southside apartment and sexually battering a woman, with her father also present.
JSO says the incident happened around 1:30AM this past Sunday, May 13th, at a complex near Gate Parkway and Burnt Mill Road. Police say the victim and her father were in the apartment, when an unknown black man armed with a handgun kicked the door in and entered the apartment. The suspect allegedly forced the victim and her father in to a bedroom, sexually battered the female, and then fled after demanding money and a cell phone.
JSO says the victims called police after the suspect fled.
The suspect is described as a black man who’s 5’6” to 5’8”, 170 lbs with a heavier appearance. The suspect spoke a foreign language. He was wearing a yellow jacket with a two-letter logo on the upper right chest area, light blue jeans, and a white or red hat.
Police have identified a probable suspect vehicle as well, which was seen entering the apartment complex at 11:20PM Saturday by tailing another vehicle, without lights on. The vehicle left the apartment complex around 1:53AM, also without lights on.
If you have any information on this suspect, the vehicle, or this incident, you’re asked to contact JSO at 904-630-0500 or JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org. You can also submit an anonymous tip and be eligible for a possible reward by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.
