Grand Prairie Police arrested Daniel Neal for the sexual assault of an elderly woman who was set on fire after she was attacked.
Grand Prairie Police Dept.
Grand Prairie Police say they have arrested the man who
raped an elderly woman and set her on fire Monday.
Grand Prairie Detective John Brimmer says officers from Grand Prairie and Fort Worth arrested Daniel Deshawn Neal Tuesday night.
Brimmer says on Tuesday a Grand Prairie Fire Department arson investigator saw a man who appeared to be going door-to-door in the same neighborhood where the woman was attacked.
The rape victim told police the man who attacked her Monday might have been selling magazines door-to-door.
The arson investigator called police, who caught up to the man and questioned him. He told police enough information about the suspect to enable officers to get an arrest warrant.
The man also told police that the group of magazine sellers would be working in Fort Worth on Tuesday.
That day, police from the two departments set up a surveillance team at the Fort Worth location where the group of magazine sellers was to meet.
The officers identified the suspect and arrested him after a brief struggle, Brimmer said.
DNA samples will be taken from Neal and compared with evidence from the sexual assault exam. Brimmer says if the DNA matches, police will charge Neal with first degree aggravated sexual assault.
