Deaf Woman Attacked At Dallas Apartment Complex<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reporting J.D. Miles<\/p>\n

A Dallas woman has been traumatized by a silent attack that left her bruised
\nand bloodied and she may have been targeted because she’s deaf.<\/p>\n

On an evening North Texas crime watch groups are observing National Night
\nOut, apartment complexes in North Dallas have seen more than their share of
\nit lately.<\/p>\n

Two nights ago three men were shot just a block from the 13000 block of
\nMontfort and not far away two murder victims were found Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

But the violent act at the Doral Apartment Homes has many residents shaking
\ntheir heads.<\/p>\n

It’s been two days since it happened and her injuries are still visible. “He
\nhit me in the eye,” explained Kathy Jowers.<\/p>\n

Jowers couldn’t hear the stranger who approached her, but she is still
\nfeeling the pain from what he did to her. “A guy approached me from the
\nback\u2026 threw me down to the ground, flipped me over and just started punching
\nme in my face,” Jowers recalled, with her daughter, Tara Thomas,
\ninterpreting.<\/p>\n

The 50-year-old woman was walking to her apartment early Sunday morning when
\nshe was beaten by a robber. The attacker apparently wanted more than Jowers’
\npurse. “He took her rings off of her fingers and then hit her again in the
\njaw and then grabbed her by the throat,” said Thomas.<\/p>\n

After the attack Thomas took pictures of her mother.<\/p>\n

Both Jowers and her daughter believe the man responsible knew he was
\ntargeting a deaf woman. “Me and her will be outside, signing, talking and
\npeople stare.”<\/p>\n

The apartment complex has a security camera pointing at the spot where the
\nattack happened but property management won’t say if it captured the crime.<\/p>\n

Jowers says she now feels like a prisoner inside her apartment and is
\nworried her attacker lives in the complex.<\/p>\n

Despite her fears she says she’s speaking out because she wants her attacker
\nto know she survived. “I want to stand up. I don’t want to be scared. I want
\nhim to see that I’m still alive, that I’m here.”<\/p>\n

Police have only a vague description of the man responsible.<\/p>\n
