Three-week-old Eliza Delacrus, who weighs a mere 10lb, has been missing since just before 6pm on Saturday, when police responded to a call about a shooting at a home in Long Beach.
At the property, officers found the baby’s mother and two men, all of whom had suffered gunshot wounds. Detectives believe the suspect, whose name has not been released, shot the victims, kidnapped the baby and fled.
The three victims were taken to hospital, where they are reportedly in critical but stable condition.
