The original incident occurred in the early hours of March 25, 2018. Surveillance footage showed Campos Roque dancing with an intoxicated woman at Cellar Door, a restaurant on East Church Street, before he and another man escorted her out. Believing the suspect was an acquaintance of the victim, patrons helped place the woman—who was unable to stand—into Campos Roque’s vehicle. Hours later, two witnesses encountered Campos Roque on Market Street, where he requested help removing the unconscious woman from his car. After assisting, the witnesses saw him drive off. The victim was hospitalized and treated for injuries consistent with sexual assault.
Despite an arrest warrant issued in September 2019, Campos Roque remained at large for years. Law enforcement efforts to locate him were unsuccessful until his recent detention in Baltimore. His last known residence was found vacant at the time of the original warrant, complicating the search.
