West Los Angeles police are still searching for a suspect wanted
in connection with a Jan. 27 assault in Westwood.
Jose Nelson Flores, a 29-year-old Latino, is wanted for
allegedly stabbing two women and attempting to rape a third at an
apartment in the 400 block of Midvale Avenue, police said.
Investigators described the suspect as an El Salvadoran male,
5-feet-7-inches tall and weighing 157 pounds. He has brown eyes and
a scar over his left eyebrow. West Los Angeles police have issued a
felony warrant for his arrest.
Flores is charged with three counts of assault with a deadly
weapon, two counts of mayhem and one count each of attempted
mayhem, attempted rape and residential burglary – all felony
charges.
"(Flores) is a vicious individual with very little regard for
human life," said West Los Angeles Police Detective Ron
Phillips.
Police consider Flores to be armed and dangerous.Comments to
