HPD seeks to identify man accused of sexually assaulting 5 women in their northwest Houston apartments

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Houston police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who sexually assaulted five women in their apartments on the city’s northwest side.

On Friday afternoon, HPD released video of the suspect just hours after the latest attack at 5454 W. Gulf Bank.

Police say he targeted five female residents of four apartment complexes in the greater Inwood area since Aug. 14. The next three attacks each took place within a week of each other, on October 9, 17 and 24. The fifth took place on Friday around 7:30 a.m.

Sometimes he would enter the victim’s apartment through an unblocked door, police said. Once, he was waiting for his victim to come home. In three attacks, he forced his way in and was armed with a pistol and wearing a ski mask.

The other four attacks took place at 5454 West Gulf Bank, 5300 West Gulf Bank and 5350 West Gulf Bank.

Friday morning, his face was not concealed. A security camera filmed him walking between apartments, then fleeing from one of them.

HPD described the suspect only as a black man in his 20s.

Anyone with information on her identity or whereabouts is asked to contact HPD’s Special Victims Division at 713-308-1180 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
