ORLANDO, Fla. — Police in Orlando are seeking the public’s help to identify a suspect in a rape case that occurred last week in the Parramore neighborhood.
A sketch of the suspect has been released by the Orlando Police Department, and officers are canvassing the area near South Lee Avenue and Grand Street, where the attack took place.
The crime occurred last Thursday, and detectives have been actively knocking on doors, showing the sketch to residents, and asking for assistance in identifying the suspect.
