A Raceless Suspect (Again)

This report from Montgomery County, Maryland concerns a rapist who is targeting elderly women. The WUSA story describes the suspect as ”between 16 and 25 years old, 5'10," and about 140 pounds.” Race is not given.
I just saw a Headline News segment on the story. A graphic came on the screen giving the suspect’s height, weight, and race-”black.” Jane Velez-Mitchell, the HLN host, gave the height and weight, but left out race. Note the sketch.
