TYPE OF INCIDENT: 245(a)1 PC, Assault with a Deadly Weapon
DATE AND TIME OCCURRED: March 13, 2008, 8:10 PM
LOCATION OF OCCURRENCE: 1000 E. Washington
BUSINESS NAME: N/A
SUSPECT: Unknown
SUSPECT DESCRIPTION:
Hispanic Male
Age: 25 to 30
Height: 5’08-5’10
Weight: 190-210
Hair: Black
RESUME OF INCIDENT:
On 03/13/08 at about 8:10 PM the female victim was
returning to her residence after an evening of shopping.
She parked to the rear of her apartment complex in the 1000
block of E. Washington Avenue. As she walked into the
apartment complex she was approached by a Hispanic male in
his late 20’s.
The suspect grabbed the victim’s arm causing her to scream.
The suspect then grabbed the victim from behind and placed
a knife to her throat. The suspect threatened to kill the
victim, and forced her to the ground. As the victim was
pushed to the ground, she was stabbed in the neck. There is
a possibility that the suspect did not intentionally stab
the victim, because he fled the scene on foot after she was
injured.
It does not appear that the motive for the attack was
robbery, because no demands were made and nothing was taken
from the victim. Investigators believe that the suspect
may have intended to sexually assault the victim. The
victim was transported to the hospital where she was
treated and released.
The suspect was wearing a blue button up collared shirt and
dark colored pants as well as a dark colored baseball cap
with the letters SD on it. The suspect had a dark colored
goatee.
Please go to the El Cajon Police Open Case Page at

the identity of the suspect in this case is urged to call
Detective Chris Baldwin at (619)579-3332.
