Calgary's Tuscany Community on Alert as Police Release Composite Sketch in Disturbing Assault Case

There's a palpable sense of unease rippling through the Calgary community, particularly in the quiet northwest neighbourhood of Tuscany, as police intensify their search for a suspect in a disturbing assault. It’s a situation that truly hits close to home for many, reminding us all of the importance of vigilance. Investigators have now released a composite sketch, a crucial step, hoping that someone, anyone, might recognize the individual responsible for what was undoubtedly a terrifying ordeal for the victim.

The incident itself unfolded in the pre-dawn hours of Friday, May 24, specifically around 1:30 a.m. Imagine this: a woman, alone, in her thirties, simply walking along the pathways near the 0-100 block of Tuscany Ridge Park N.W. Suddenly, without warning, she was grabbed from behind. The assailant, in a horrifying turn, dragged her into a nearby bush where the assault occurred. It's truly chilling to think about, a scenario no one ever wants to face.

But here's a testament to her incredible bravery: the victim fought back. She screamed, she resisted with all her might. Her courage, thankfully, paid off, as her screams startled the attacker, causing him to flee the scene. While she sustained minor physical injuries, the emotional impact of such an experience can, of course, linger far longer. Police are treating this as a random attack, which, frankly, only heightens the concern within the community and underscores the urgency of finding this person.

Now, to the description of the individual police are desperately searching for. He's described as a white man, likely in his twenties to early thirties, standing somewhere between 5’8” and 5’10” tall. He has a slim build, short, dark hair—possibly shaved on the sides and a bit longer on top—and appears to be clean-shaven. At the time of the assault, he was wearing dark clothing. That composite sketch is now the best visual lead, offering the public a clearer image to work with, a face, however generalized, to connect with a memory.

The Calgary Police Service is making a direct plea to anyone who might have information. Did you happen to be in the Tuscany area that night? Did you notice anything, perhaps a person or vehicle, that seemed even slightly out of place? Perhaps you have dashcam footage from around Tuscany Ridge Park N.W. or nearby roads from that timeframe? No detail is too small, honestly. Even a fleeting glimpse could be the missing piece of this complex puzzle that helps bring closure and safety back to the community.

If you have any information at all that could help investigators, please don't hesitate. You can contact the police directly at 403-266-1234. Alternatively, for those who wish to remain anonymous, tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or by visiting their website at www.calgarycrimestoppers.org. Let's all do our part to help bring some peace of mind back to Tuscany and ensure this individual is identified and apprehended.
