The Corpus Christi Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division Detectives need the public’s help identifying a wanted burglar suspect who entered a southside apartment on the 5900 block of Weber Road.
According to CCPD, a middle-aged woman was suddenly awakened by an unknown man inside her second-story bedroom in the early morning of Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2024.
“The woman told responding officers that she was asleep in bed when she was startled awake by a noise, only to find an unknown man standing near her bed. The woman stated that the man then suddenly attacked her, but she fought back loudly and violently, causing the suspect to cease his attack and flee the apartment,” stated CCPD Senior Officer Jennifer Collier.
The suspect was last seen running northbound toward a nearby apartment complex, and responding officers searched the surrounding area but could not locate the suspect.
The woman sustained minor injuries from the assault. She described her attacker as either a dark-skinned Hispanic or possibly Black male, approximately 5’8” to 5’11” tall, with a medium build.
