On Monday, June 9, 2025, at around 10:40 p.m., Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a report of an assault at a home near SW Bridle Hills Drive and SW 161st Drive in Beaverton. During the investigation, deputies learned that an unidentified man entered the victim’s home and assaulted her, both physically and sexually. The woman did not recognize the assailant, as he took steps to conceal his identity and fled the home prior to deputies being called.
Deputies conducted an extensive search for the suspect, which included using K9s and drones, but did not find anyone. Detectives from the Violent Crimes Unit were called out to investigate and learned that the victim had been receiving threats from Luis Alberto Garcia, age 31, of Cornelius. Garcia did not match the physical description of the suspect in this case, and detectives confirmed his whereabouts during the attack.
Although Garcia was not the person who carried out the assault, investigators believe that Garcia is connected to the incident. On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, investigators served a search warrant at a home in Cornelius and arrested Garcia on unrelated charges. The investigation is ongoing, and Garcia may face additional charges related to this incident.
At this time, investigators believe this was a targeted attack, and a description of the suspect is not being released to the public.
Detectives are asking area residents to check their surveillance cameras for activity on 6/9/25 from 10:00 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. and contact the Sheriff’s Office so investigators can collect the footage. Investigators would also like to hear from anyone who saw anything suspicious during that time frame.
Additionally, detectives are seeking information on Garcia and his connection to this event. Anyone with information about Garcia is asked to contact non-emergency dispatch at 503-629-0111, referencing case number 50-25-8016.
The release of Garcia’s booking photo is for law enforcement purposes and is in accordance with Oregon House Bill 3273 for the identification of additional criminal activity.
