The rape and robbery took place on the 1200 block of Massachusetts Avenue, S.E. on Sunday morning, August 28. This particular area of the District is considered “upscale” and is located across the street from Lincoln Park, a section of Capitol Hill.
“There were no signs of forced entry into the residence,” the statement adds.
The suspect is described as a “black male, 5’8, in height, stocky build, approximately 200 pounds, medium to dark complexion and last seen wearing a black baseball cap, black t-shirt, and black shorts,” says the police report.
