Nampa Police looking for possible witness to attempted rape

Nampa Police detectives are asking for the public’s help to identify a possible witness to an attempted rape of a young woman in a parking lot in the 300 block of West Iowa. The attack took place at around 7:30 a.m. on Oct. 28.

The suspect was driving what has been described as a dark colored SUV similar to a Toyota 4-runner.

It almost collided with a white passenger car that was on Iowa heading towards Midland from 12th Ave. Road. Detectives would like to speak with the driver and occupants of the white car as they may be able to provide a better description of the suspect vehicle or the suspect.

The attack and the near collision all occurred near the medical businesses located in that section of Iowa Avenue near the Wilson Drain to the west of 12th Ave. Road.

The suspect is described as a light skinned, medium build, male about 5’5” to 5’8” tall, in his 20s to early 30s with dark medium length hair. The suspect was wearing dark clothing and is possibly clean shaven.
