An abandoned baby was found in a Lakewood Walmart bathroom last week, and authorities are looking for a man they think might know something about it, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. A customer found the baby around 11:45 a.m. on Oct. 8 in the men’s restroom at the Walmart on Carson Street near Paramount Boulevard, according to authorities. The boy is African-American, between 12 and 15 months old, about 20 pounds with black hair and brown eyes, authorities said. “Since the incident, the child’s parents and/or guardians have yet to be identified and nobody has reported the child missing,” sheriff’s officials said. Detectives from the special victims bureau have combed through security video footage and haven’t been able to find any suspect, but they have identified a person of interest they’d like to talk to, authorities said. He was seen driving away from the Walmart in a beige or gold 2000-2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, according to sheriff's officials. They asked anyone who recognizes him or his car to call 877-710-5273 or email specialvictimsbureau@lasd.org. Anyone who wants to stay anonymous can contact Los Angeles Regional Crime Stoppers by dialing 800-222-TIPS or visiting lacrimestoppers.org.
