Detectives are looking for a man they said severely beat a 21-year-old woman in a St. Petersburg motel room.

According to St. Petersburg police, the attempted homicide happened early Saturday morning at the Kenwood Village Inn on 34th Street N.

Police said they believe that the woman arrived at her room at 4 a.m. with an unknown man.  About five minutes later, the suspect left the room and closed the door.

A short time later, a neighbor heard sounds of distress coming from the room and went inside to find the woman severely beaten.

The woman was taken to Bayfront Hospital St. Petersburg. Police said she has not regained consciousness since the beating, and so she has not been able to provide an account of what happened.

On Wednesday, police released video taken from the hotel showing the woman and the suspect going into the room together, and then the suspect leaving the room alone.

Anyone with information regarding the suspect's identity is asked to call Detective Rodney Tower at 727-892-5008 or the main non-emergency line of 727-893-7780.
