Metro police have released a composite sketch of one of the two men accused of raping a 21-year-old woman in a Heritage Drive apartment on July 9.
The suspect is described as a black man in his late teens to early 20s, approximately 6 feet tall with a thin build and a short Afro hairstyle. At the time of the assault, the attacker was described as wearing a white T-shirt and baggy jeans.
The second suspect wore a ball cap and a bandanna that partially covered his face. He is described as a black man in his late teens or early 20s, about 5-feet, 8-inches tall, with a medium build.
According to police, on the night of July 9, the woman and her boyfriend were watching a movie in the Heritage Drive apartment when the men knocked on the apartment door.
