In an urgent Facebook plea, the Minneapolis Police Department posted a request for help this afternoon.
According to police, a woman in an apartment located in the 2100 block of Portland Avenue South was taking shower around noon Wednesday. She had placed her 8-month-old baby boy in his car seat.
When she got out of the shower, the baby, named Carlos Orozco, was gone.
In a press release, police said Carlos is Hispanic and not yet mobile. He was wearing a onesy with blue stripes and red sleeves. The front of the onesy had a “#1 Slugger” logo on it.
