Overview
- Police issued an Amber Alert for 4‑ to 5‑year‑old Daleza (Daleyza) Fregoso after officers found an adult woman dead in a West Adams home during a Monday welfare check.
- Investigators have named 40‑year‑old Ruben Fregoso as a person of interest in the violent death and say he allegedly abducted the child from Los Angeles early Sunday.
- Authorities located a white 2019 Land Rover Discovery linked to the case in a San Ysidro shopping center parking structure near the U.S.‑Mexico border.
- Surveillance footage released to media outlets appears to show a man believed to be Ruben Fregoso holding the child’s hand and carrying a suitcase in the San Ysidro garage, but both remain at large.
- Officials warn the possible crossing into Mexico could complicate recovery and extradition, and they are urging anyone with information to call 911, LAPD Robbery‑Homicide Division, or Crime Stoppers.
