No link made between TCU and Grand Prairie assaults

No link has been made between the Grand Prairie sexual assault suspect and the suspect for the TCU sexual assault that occurred off-campus Feb. 18, said Sgt. Paul Ware of the Fort Worth Police Department.

Police are continuing the investigation this week on the two sexual assaults that occurred this month, said Sgt. Alan Patton of the Grand Prairie Police Department. He said a suspect attempted to sexually assault a 22-year-old female on Feb. 18 and that a 15-year-old female was sexually assaulted Monday.

The sketches of the suspects are similar but the Grand Prairie attempted sexual assault occurred at 1:24 p.m. on Feb. 18, approximately 24 minutes after the TCU sexual assault was reported, Grand Prairie Police Detective Brent McCoy said.

Patton said the Grand Prairie suspect, who is believed to have been involved in both Grand Prairie instances, is a Hispanic male who does not have facial hair and does not speak English. According to the Grand Prairie Police, the suspect is between 5 feet 7 inches tall to 5 feet 9 inches tall. Patton said the suspect was last seen riding a 10-speed dark red or maroon bicycle.

Patton said both instances occurred on the north side of Grand Prairie and there is a strong possibility that the suspect is a Grand Prairie resident.
