West Ridge Home Invasion, Sexual Assault Brings Call For Help In Solving The Crime


WEST RIDGE — Ald. Andre Vasquez (40th) and Chicago Police are asking for help in finding the man responsible for a home invasion and sexual assault Thursday morning in West Ridge.

A 27-year-old woman was asleep in her apartment in the 6200 block of North Bell Avenue when a man broke through a back door at about 3 a.m. Thursday, according to Vasquez and police. The man threatened her with a knife and sexually assaulted her before taking some items from the apartment and leaving through the back door, Vasquez and police said.

During the incident, the man “also implied there were additional offenders with him,” according to a Chicago Police community alert.

The suspect is described as a Black male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a medium build and symbols tattooed on his face, according to police. He was last seen wearing a black mask, according to police.

The woman was taken to a hospital and “is expected to be OK,” Vasquez said in a public safety alert sent Friday to 40th Ward residents.

“Though this occurred in the 50th Ward, due to its proximity to the 40th Ward, we will continue to follow up with the 24th District, and we will share additional updates as we receive them,” Vasquez said.

Vasquez and police are asking those with any information to contact Area 3 Detectives at 312-744-8261 or submit an anonymous tip at CPDTIP.com, using reference JH555434.
