The Vancouver Police Department’s Safe Streets Task Force is asking the public’s help locating a man suspected of assaulting a resident during a robbery attempt last week.
Police are searching for Miguel Andrew Torres-Izazaga, 19, a known gang member from the Beaverton area with ties to Vancouver. Torres-Izazaga has warrants outstanding on charges of second-degree attempted murder and robbery.
The victim, who was assaulted inside his home in the 4200 block of E. 18th Street, asked not to be identified citing fear of retribution. He was treated for serious injuries and has since been released, according to a press release.
Torres-Izazaga allegedly went to the victim’s apartment Dec. 14 to buy marijuana, according to court documents. His objective shifted once inside the apartment, where he allegedly beat the victim with a pipe or small.
