COLUMBUS, Ohio – A woman stabbed outside a West Side gym in March has provided police with enough information to compose a sketch of the suspect in the attack.
Rikki Whitaker, 25, was assaulted in the parking lot of the LA Fitness at 1800 Tanglewood Park Boulevard L.A. Fitness shortly after 6:00 a.m. on March 20
She was treated at Mt. Carmel West Hospital for what police said was a very serious wound.
She described her attacker as a black man with a light complexion, 25 to 30 years of age, with a “buzz” cut and she told investigators she thought he had a tattoo on the left side of his neck “that is possibly a picture rather than words,” detectives said.
Police say he was driving a silver midsize automobile with dark tinted windows.
On Monday, police say Whitaker worked with an agent from the Bureau of Criminal Investigation to complete a composite sketch of the suspect (above).
Anyone with any information regarding the identity of the suspect is asked to call the Columbus Police Homicide Unit at 614-645-4730 or 614-645-4624.
