The suspect, according to police, forces his way into apartments if the door is not unlocked, sometimes wearing a ski mask and armed with a gun.
"He messed with the woman in the neighborhood. They don’t come over here messing with the women over here. Aint no call for it," said Anthony Bean.
"Then there were times when women said he tried, and they was able to get away from him, so that’s even worse. He's basically doing it in the daytime. He really don't care," Crockett said.
