SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Police say a woman arrested in the kidnapping of a 3-month-old baby from his San Francisco Bay Area home is a friend of the family and was present when a man abducted the baby while his grandmother unloaded groceries. San Jose Police Sgt. Christian Camarillo said Wednesday (April 27, 2022) that Yesenia Ramirez had taken the child and his grandmother shopping and was communicating with Jose Portillo before he entered the San Jose apartment and took the baby Monday. He says surveillance video shows Portillo walking toward the apartment with a baby car seat and a small blanket. The baby was found unharmed Tuesday inside a home where Portillo lived. Camarillo says a motive is still under investigation.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Authorities are searching for a man who allegedly kidnapped a 3-month-old baby in the San Francisco Bay Area. The man walked into a home in San Jose around 1 p.m. Monday (April 25, 2022) and left with the child, Brandon Cuellar. The family does not recognize the suspect. Police released a video clip that shows the man walking down the sidewalk holding a baby carrier covered by a white blanket. Authorities have not issued an Amber Alert because investigators do not have a vehicle description. San Jose is a city about 50 miles from San Francisco. Brandon was last seen wearing a white long-sleeved onesie with dinosaurs.
