None of the occupants of the apartment were harmed. Newark officers were assisted in the search by a canine team from New Castle County Police. The suspect is described as 5 foot 10 inches tall, weighing more than 200 pounds, with a large build. He was wearing light-colored jeans and a knit hat and had a backpack.
