Time has passed, but a troubling case is still open without resolution. The U.S. Marshal Service and the Kenosha Police Department are looking for fugitive Da’shawn Harris.
Members of the U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force say they have tried everything to find 21-year-old Da’shawn Harris. All searches have come up empty. They are now turning to FOX6 News viewers for help.

There is an outstanding warrant for Harris' arrest. Prosecutors say Harris sexually assaulted the victim while family members slept.
Authorities know he frequents Racine and Kenosha counties. They say it is urgent the public send information on his location.
"Since the warrant is active and he is a fugitive there is no telling what he might do if he is cornered," the U.S. Marshal on the case explained.
Harris is described as being 5'10" tall and weighing 170 pounds.
