A 16-year-old boy in Scottsdale, Arizona has been apprehended in connection to the brutal attack and rape of two women, one of whom lived in his apartment building. The authorities were able to link the teenager to the assaults through DNA evidence. However, his identity cannot be disclosed as he is a minor, and it is yet to be determined if he will face trial as an adult. The suspect gained access to the victims’ homes by entering through unlocked patio doors. He is currently being held on charges of sexual assault, kidnapping, and burglary. The police believe that he may be connected to additional crimes in the area. The arrest came as a result of a tip-off from the local community, which led the investigation in the right direction. The suspect’s DNA was already on file with the police, as he had a previous criminal record. Further investigation and DNA testing are ongoing, and the authorities collected additional samples from the suspect’s residence through a search warrant. Both victims were unable to identify the boy in a suspect lineup, but there are similarities between his appearance and a composite sketch drawn based on the first victim’s description. In both instances, the attacker entered the victims’ ground-floor apartments through unlocked patio doors. The community has been on high alert since the investigation began, and the police have urged residents to secure their homes by keeping doors and windows locked and blinds drawn. Prior to the teenager’s arrest, a 22-year-old man was wrongly arrested for the same crimes but was later exonerated when forensic evidence did not match the DNA found at the crime scenes. The suspect is described as a black male of approximately 5-feet, 7-inches in height with an athletic build.
