NYPD Names Suspect in Bronx Break-In of 8-Year-Old’s Bedroom

Police have launched a public manhunt that relies on Crime Stoppers tips as the suspect remains at large.

Overview

  • Detectives say a man entered an 8-year-old girl’s bedroom near De Reimer and Bussing Avenues on May 25 and exposed himself while she slept.
  • The NYPD has identified 35-year-old Tishawn Maile as the prime suspect and says he fled eastbound on Bussing Avenue after the incident.
  • Officers released a last-seen description — a medium complexion man wearing a black sweater with a white logo, black pants, a gray skullcap, and black sneakers — and are asking the public for tips.
  • Police report the child was not physically harmed and the 47th Precinct is handling the investigation while protecting the victim’s privacy.
  • Law enforcement sources say Maile has multiple prior arrests including a reported burglary but that detail has limited independent verification and investigators urge anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
