“LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Authorities today were seeking public help to find a person of interest in their investigation into the abandonment of a baby in a men’s restroom at a Walmart in Lakewood.
The baby boy was found by a customer about 11:45 a.m. Oct. 8 at the business in the 2700 block of East Carson Street, the sheriff’s department reported. The boy was described as black, between 12-15 months old, weighing 20 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
“The child’s parents and/or guardians have yet to be identified and nobody has reported the child missing,” a sheriff’s statement said. “Walmart video footage was reviewed, (but) detectives from Special Victims Bureau were unable to identify any possible suspects. However, a person of interest was captured on video who detectives would like to speak with.”
Detectives circulated a photo of that person, described only as a male, and said he was seen driving away in a beige or gold-colored 2000-2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo.
Anyone with information on the case was urged to call the sheriff’s Special Victims Bureau tip line at (877) 710-5273 or email detectives at specialvictimsbureau@lasd.org. Tipsters can also call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.”
Are y’all wondering the same thing we are? Why hasn’t this baby been reported missing? No one is looking for him?
We’ll keep you guys in the know as more info become available to us.
This was so wrong but it’s still better than leaving it in a car or killing it.
I was about to say the same thing! I hate this happened but I’m glad he didn’t kill him. I’ll never understand how someone could leave a precious baby… who knows what people go through. Oh, and yea! Why haven’t this baby been reported missing? Did the mother not want him either? Or maybe the mother thought this baby was in good hands. Looking forward to an update.
