Police seek Far Northeast Dallas sex assault suspect

Dallas police are searching for a man who sexually assaulted a woman inside her apartment last weekend.

Police said an unknown man broke into the woman’s Far Northeast Dallas apartment in the 9800 block of Summerwood Circle and sexually assaulted her at knifepoint.

Police said the suspect ordered the victim to do specific things to lessen the amount of evidence police would be able to collect. That leads officials to believe he may have assaulted women previously.

The suspect is described as a black male, 28-32 years old, 5’11”, medium build with short black hair and brown eyes.

People in the complex say a hired guard does patrol the property, but lighting and security are a concern.

"It's really scary, especially with a lot of females in the complex. Not a good thing," said Ana Smith, who lives in the complex.

Police said people in the area should call 911 or Crime Stoppers at 214-373-TIPS to report anyone or anything suspicious. There is a $5,000 reward available for information leading to an arrest.
