Today marks "day nine" in the search for an Ossining home invasion suspect. Police say Byron Israel Lopez-Jiminez broke into a home on July 27. Immigration Services and Ossining Police have been searching for the 29-year-old ever since.

Ossining police tell Patch that several leads have been followed to no avail. As of this moment, Lopez-Jiminez' whereabouts are unknown.

He has a history of weapons possession and resisting arrest.

Police say the 29-year-old broke into a home, where two families live, at 41 Yale Ave. on July 27 at 4:30 a.m. Investigators say Lopez-Jiminez threatened the families with a kitchen knife that he took from the home, and then demanded cash. The 29-year-old then brutally attacked two residents in the head and face with a metal object. He then ran out of the house through the basement door.

The victims of the attack were treated and released from Phelps Memorial Hospital. To report any information on Lopez-Jiminez' whereabouts, you can call Ossining Police at 914-941-4099.
