In the early morning hours of December 17, 2024, a middle-aged woman was suddenly awakened by an unknown man inside her second story bedroom located on the 5900 block of Weber Road.  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.   The suspect was last seen running northbound toward a nearby apartment complex.  Responding officers conducted an intensive search of the surrounding area but were unable to locate the suspect.   

The woman, who sustained minor injuries from the assault, described her attacker as either a dark skinned Hispanic or possibly Black male, approximately 5’8” to 5’11” tall with a medium build.  The suspect was clean shaven and appeared to be in his mid-thirties according to the victim, but may actually be older.   The victim told officers he appeared to have a short afro beneath a red or maroon ball cap and was dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants.

Detectives believe the offender entered the apartment through an unlocked sliding glass door on the second floor of the apartment.  The Corpus Christi Police Department reminds residents to ensure that all doors and windows are locked and secured while at home, as well as remaining vigilant of your surroundings when out in public.
