The victim is an asian woman.

About the suspect:

Records in Alameda and Solano counties show Jovany had a long criminal history, including felony convictions for burglary, drug trafficking, selling ammunition to a minor and robbery, among other crimes. His most recent arrest occurred in January, following a physical altercation with a store employee who stopped him for shoplifting in Alameda. The case was dismissed as part of a plea bargain with the district attorney’s office that allowed Portades to admit to a probation violation, for which he was sentenced to a year in jail — with credit for time served — in April, and released in July. His defense attorney declined to comment, as did both victims in the Alameda County cases.
