(The Center Square)– A Milwaukee state representative wants privacy after police say someone tried to break into her home.
The Capitol Police say they are looking for the man captured on a doorbell camera as he was trying to enter state Rep. Priscilla Prado’s home late Monday night.
He didn’t get in, but police say he walked around her home for a while after trying the door. Prado hasn’t said much about the incident, but she did ask for privacy.
“Late last night, a disturbance occurred at my residence. Authorities have been notified and are actively investigating this situation. I am grateful that no one was injured,” Prado said in a statement. “This has been a deeply unsettling experience, and I appreciate the influx of concern. I respectfully ask for privacy and patience as law enforcement continues its work.”
The Capitol Police say the man appears to be in his 40s or 50s, about 6 feet tall and around 200 pounds. His pictures are online. Investigators are asking anyone who may know anything about the man to please reach out.
The incident comes a little more than a month after a gunman killed a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband and wounded a second lawmaker during a pair of shootings.

Those shootings prompted questions about security of Wisconsin state lawmakers, but legislative leaders said it was too soon to talk about changes in security at the Capitol and beyond.
Prado is a first-year Democratic state representative from Milwaukee’s south side. She won a special election to replace former Rep. Marisabel Cabrera, when Cabrera was elected as a judge.
