Chicago police are searching for a man who broke into a Gresham home where he sexually assaulted a woman and robbed her Friday morning on the South Side.
The 19-year-old woman was home alone in the 7700 block of South Racine Avenue around 10:35 a.m. when the man — believed to be between 40 to 55 years old — forcefully entered, robbed her and sexually assaulted her while he was armed with a handgun, police said.
He was last seen wearing a blue hoodie, red baseball cap, white medical mask, black pants and red shoes with white laces, police said.
The Cook County Crime Stoppers are offering a $1,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest in the case.
“An individual committing this violent and senseless act in someone’s home is deeply disturbing. No one should ever have to experience this kind of terror, especially in the safety of their own home,” said Paul Rutherford, Executive Director of Cook County Crime Stoppers. “Even the smallest piece of information could make a significant difference in this investigation.”
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Area 2 detectives at 312-747-8271 or Cook County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-535-7867.
