Los Angeles: The Los Angeles
Police Department Harbor Division detectives are asking for the
public’s help in locating 1-year-old Jayden Santiago, taken by
his biological father.

On March 9,
2015, around 1:35 a.m., Harbor patrol officers responded to a
radio call of an “ADW Stabbing” in the 500 block of West 15th
Street. The suspect, later identified as Giovanny Santiago,
entered his ex-girlfriend’s residence through an unlocked front
door and proceeded towards her bedroom. The suspect entered the
bedroom and stabbed his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend numerous
times.

During the assault the ex-girlfriend suffered minor injuries
trying to prevent Giovanny from stabbing her current boyfriend.
The suspect then ran out of the residence and entered his
vehicle. The brother of the ex-girlfriend tried to stop Giovanny
from leaving, but was unsuccessful. Giovanny then threw the knife
out the window of his vehicle and fled the scene. Responding
officers located and recovered the knife.

The suspect went home to the city of Long Beach, took his son and
fled from the location in a 2006 Nissan 4 door, License Plate

their son.
