TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa police are searching for a man accused of kidnapping and raping a DoorDash delivery driver Thursday night.

According to police, the driver, a woman in her 20s, was making a delivery to the Residence Inn in the 4300 block of Boy Scout Boulevard just after 11 p.m.

That’s when a man with a gun forced her back into her car.

The suspect forced the victim at gunpoint to drive to the Belara Lakes Apartments, located at 8402 N. Waterford Ave., where he raped her.

Police said the victim had AirPods in her ears and an open line with her girlfriend, who quickly realized that a robbery was occurring. The family of the victim called the police and officers were dispatched to the hotel.

The victim's family, who had been tracking her phone, arrived at the apartment complex and rescued her from the car. The suspect responded by firing multiple times, with one shot striking a family member of the victim's girlfriend, a female in her 20s, before fleeing the scene.

Both victims were transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The suspect is described as a Black male, in his late 20s-early 30s, approximately 6'2" tall, with a thin build and facial hair. He was wearing a blue, long-sleeved shirt or hoodie and black pants. He was armed with a handgun.

"It is clear this suspect has no regard for human life," said Interim Chief Lee Bercaw. "Detectives are actively gathering evidence in an effort to quickly identify and apprehend him. I am urging anyone who may have seen or heard something nearby to please call us with those details, no matter how minimal they may seem to be. It could be the information we need to arrest this criminal before he's able to hurt another member of our community."

Anyone with information in this case is asked to contact Tampa Police by calling (813) 231-6130 or share a tip via Tip411, which is accessible through the TampaPD app.
