Miami Police officials said Gonzalez is responsible for the Feb. 27 incident that happened in the early morning hours in the 3700 block of Northwest 1st Street.
The victim told police she was in the area when the suspect approached her from behind, dragged her and forcefully sexually assaulted her behind a building.

After she was assaulted, the woman fled to a nearby business and called police.
