Amber Alert Canceled, 1 Year Old Unharmed

ANTIOCH - Police located a 1-year-old child Sunday evening after the child was abducted that afternoon from Antioch, Antioch police said.

At about 7:56 p.m. Stockton police received a call from a person not involved in the abduction who said the child had been dropped off at their home. Stockton police took custody of the boy, who was unharmed.

An Amber Alert that had been issued for the boy was canceled, Antioch police said. The man who abducted the child is still at large.

Ricardo Gomez, the boy’s father, was driving a dark gray 2011 Subaru Forester with California license plate 6RTV690. Antioch police are trying to find him.

Officers were dispatched at 3:33 p.m. to the 2600 block of Stanford Way on a report of a domestic dispute involving the boy.
