Name: Unidentified male suspect

Age: Late teens to mid 20s

Description: Hispanic male, short in height, with short dark hair.

Wanted for: Breaking into a Mesa home and sexually assaulting a 4-year-old girl who lived there.

They say another person inside the home spotted him before he fled.

The witness helped police create a composite sketch. Police then sought help from an outside company that specializes in using DNA evidence to predict someone's physical characteristics.

The suspect's DNA snapshot the company composed looks similar to the original composite.

If you have any information on the suspect's identify or any information that could help police, you're asked to call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.
