Overview
- Law enforcement issued an AMBER Alert on behalf of the Los Angeles Police Department after 4-year-old Daleza Fregoso was reported taken and last seen about 4 a.m. on Sunday, May 24, near Alsace Avenue and Ferndale Street.
- Authorities named 40-year-old Ruben Fregoso as the alleged abductor and described the pair as traveling in a white 2019 Land Rover Discovery with an updated plate number reported during the investigation.
- Officers located the SUV late Monday night but the vehicle recovery did not yield the child or the suspect and both remain missing and unaccounted for.
- Police released physical descriptions for Daleza (about 3 feet tall, 45 pounds, black hair, brown eyes) and for Ruben Fregoso (about 5-foot-9, 200 pounds, black hair, brown eyes) and urged anyone who sees them to call 911.
- The AMBER Alert covers Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego counties and locating the vehicle has broadened search leads while investigators ask the public to share tips and sightings to aid a multi-jurisdiction search.
