Police Release Composite Sketches of Suspects in Bike Path Attack
Alexandria detectives are releasing sketches of two suspects wanted for the Friday afternoon attack on a bike path. The two men are being sought for sexually assaulting a 22-year-old Alexandria woman at gunpoint along Holmes Run between North Latham and North Pickett streets.
The first suspect is described as a white Hispanic male, 27 to 30 years old, 5'7" to 5'10" tall, 180 to 200 pounds, with a stocky build. He has black hair, wavy on the top and shorter on the sides. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and blue denim shorts.
The second suspect is described as a white Hispanic male with a darker complexion than the first suspect. He is also 27 to 30 years old, 5'7" to 5'10" tall, 180 to 200 pounds, with a stocky build. He has short, coarse black hair. He was last seen wearing a blue New England Patriots mesh jersey and blue denim shorts.
They fled from the scene in a black, two-door Honda Civic coupe. Witnesses describe it as a 1997 to 1999 model with white wheels, a rear spoiler and clear tail light covers.
Detectives urge anyone who recognizes these suspects or observes this vehicle to call Alexandria police at 703.838.4444.
