Hyrum Baquedano Rodriguez forced his way inside of an apartment on the 7500 block of Little River Turnpike in West Springfield around 4 a.m. on June 15, Fairfax County police said.

The mother was awoken to the sound of window blinds shaking and the sound of her 4-year-old daughter crying, police said. She found the window in the living room was open and child on the floor. 

The child immediately told her mother someone had grabbed her. Officers searched the area but did not find the suspect. It wasn't immediately clear if Rodriguez knew the family.

A fingerprint was recovered from the scene that led detectives to identify Rodriguez as the offender. On June 16, officers saw Rodriguez and took him into custody. He is being held with no bond.
