SEDGWICK COUNTY -Law enforcement authorities in Sedgwick County are investigating a violent attack and after six-months are now asking for help to identify a suspect.

Just before 3:30 p.m. on August 2, 2016, a 58-year-old woman was attacked in the entry way of an apartment building near 2nd and Topeka in Wichita.
