The woman said the suspect, identified as 28-year-old Ervin Goode, pointed a gun at her before leaving the house. Officers began looking for Goode but were unable to find him at that time.
A few minutes before 9 p.m., the victim called police again, saying Goode came back to the house and pushed her down, strangled her and took her phone when she tried to call 911. CMPD obtained warrants against Goode for assault by strangulation and assault on a female.
