Northwest Houston women hunt for serial rapist

HOUSTON – The hunt continues for a serial rapist targeting women in northwest Houston.

His armed attacks date back to August. Fears continue to grow as Houston police say they are working on leads to catch a man raping women in northwest Houston.

“I’m really thinking about if things don’t get better, I’d rather just move,” Monica Z said.

Women are tense and want the man to be seen on surveillance footage from the street.

“Especially between 6:45 a.m. and 8 a.m. That’s when moms come out to take the kids to school and by that time most guys or husbands leave before 8 a.m., so now it’s like, well, you gotta pay attention, said Monica.

The attacker is wanted by Houston police for raping five women at four different apartment complexes at West Gulf Bank and West Little York, raising concerns among parents like Monica.

“I don’t feel like I want to walk outside after 6 p.m. and if I have to take out my trash, I’m going to drive my car and take it out,” Monica said.

However, at the Valero gas station in West Little York and TC Jester, a worker who did not want to be identified says the suspect frequented the area.

Even hanging out for hours and parking his car at the gas station. He hadn’t seen him in months until this news came out.

However, that information scares a woman we met at a Circle K next door.

“I often come to this Circle K because of their gas and my son goes to school right after the win and so I’m just going to take different routes, maybe Ella or other routes because if it’s frequent I don’t do that. I want to be in that area,” says Trinae P.

Houston police say they are working on leads in this case, but if you have seen this man or know who he is, you are urged to call their Special Division Unit at 713-308-1180 or Crime Stoppers at 713- 222-TIPS.
