According to Miami police, the incident occurred July 24 in the area of Southwest 13th Avenue and Eighth Street.
Police said Manzo forced his way inside the victim's home around 8:30 p.m., struck her and then held her down and took her clothes off as she struggled with him.
Authorities said Manzo repeatedly raped the victim before leaving her home.
Detectives passed out fliers in the area last Friday in the hopes that someone would come forward with information about the attack.
But police said it was DNA results that identified Manzo as the offender.
Manzo is being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
