Overview
- Plano police say a woman jogging in Bob Woodruff Park on Nov. 13 was struck multiple times with a hammer before fighting off her attacker and receiving hospital treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
- Authorities identified the suspect as 17-year-old Sergio Noe de Nova Duarte and charged him with aggravated kidnapping and bodily injury before booking him into the Collin County jail.
- Investigators recovered a hammer, duct tape and other items at the scene and tied the evidence to the suspect, according to local reports.
- ICE says Duarte entered the U.S. on a B2 tourist visa in 2016 and overstayed, and records show arrests in 2024 for burglary and larceny.
- DHS officials criticized his prior release with a 2026 notice to appear and said ICE has now placed an arrest detainer following his arrest in the Plano case.
