HUNTINGTON PARK, Calif. (KABC) -- An Amber Alert was canceled Wednesday morning after a 9-month-old boy who had allegedly been abducted was located, the California Highway Patrol said.

According to the alert issued by the CHP on behalf of the Huntington Park Police Department, Jaydan Avalos was taken by 18-year-old David Avalos. The relationship between the child and the suspect was unclear.



David Avalos was last seen in Huntington Park on Wednesday, a CHP flyer said, but a post by the Highway Patrol on X gave the last known location as Normandie Avenue and West 228th Street in West Carson.

During the search, authorities released descriptions of the suspect and victim as well as a car that was being sought.



"This AMBER Alert has been deactivated. The child has been located," the Highway Patrol said on social media shortly after 9 a.m. No other information was provided, including whether David Avalos was in custody.

Correction: A detail of the suspect's description was misreported in an earlier version of this article.
