Metro Police have released a composite sketch of a man who they say robbed and severely beat a woman in her home earlier this week.
The assault occurred about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at the woman's home in the northwest Las Vegas Valley, police said. She was released from the hospital Thursday.
A man knocked at the woman's door in the area of Smoke Ranch Road and Buffalo Avenue, saying he had lost his dog. The woman didn't open the front door at that time, but moments later the man returned and she took the chain off the door, said Lt. Cliff Nichols of Metro's robbery section.
The woman, who is in her mid 60s, was beaten in the face and taken to University Medical Center. The man might have known that the woman was alone after her husband died about a week earlier, police said.
The man took the woman's keys and her vehicle, described as a silver 2008 Infiniti G35 with Nevada license plate 807KPC, police said.
The man is described as Hispanic and in his late 20s with a muscular build and shaved head. He was last seen wearing a gray shirt.
Police said the man is considered armed and dangerous. The man could face enhanced charges because he attacked and robbed a senior citizen, Nichols said.
Robbery detectives are asking for the public's help finding the man and the stolen vehicle. Anyone with information is being asked to call Metro's robbery section at (702) 828-3591, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.

I've seen 10,000 Illegal aliens that look like this perp. Hope they get him.
Offer a reward and his peeps will give him up in a heartbeat.
LOL! Totally looks like Gary Coleman and if the ears were bigger, Webster!
Just here to do the jobs Americans dont wanna do! Deport all Illegals!
He looks like all the rest just start loading them up for the trip back to Mexico and im sure you will find him in the mix.
No one has ever, EVER been able to tell me what an 'illegal alien' looks like. Not once.
I guess from that police sketch you can see into his wallet and read his passport? You can divine the writing on a piece of paper that a Washington bureaucrat gave him?
Or are you just going on ignorance and prejudice here?
For all of the bluster and hot air that the pseudo-patriots spew there is never shred of evidence or proof. No sight of the big picture or even an inkling of any sort of understanding about our history. Seriously, for a bunch of people who like to pretend to love America you folks are certainly ignorant of her history.
How sad.
No - not Gary Coleman. Emanuelle Lewis.
ThisOneGuy - It's pretty interesting that you keep jumping to the defense of a vicious unknown assailant.
No we don't know if he's illegal but the witness saw and heard him all too close while he punched the 67 year old woman in the face a reported 40 times.
She describes him as Hispanic. Illegal or not, that's the discription.
So, does dos y dos=cuatro?(2+2=4 for the english readers)
We will see.
Hasta luego.....
Any man that would punch an elderly woman 40 times is an animal and needs to be KILLED. The Death Penalty never looked so good until this P.O.S. hit the news. I would like to pull the trigger on this punk. Someone needs to hand him a knife, call 911 and let Metro kill him.
legal or illegal,if its a violent crime odds are its a hispanic. dont believe it,think its racist ? Read the paper.
Oneguy,,,nobody really knows what they look like,,their face is always hidden behind that case of beer on their shoulder.
Hey oneguy,,whats knowin history have to do with reading a witnesses descrption of a coward thug? Talk about ignorant.
The man might have known that the woman was alone after her husband died about a week earlier, police said.
Hey, "Thisoneguy"...
I kinda get where you come from with the defense of people that are from elsewhere,..but gee, do you get all this frustration? and it seems like sometimes you kinda add to the mix...
