Garden Grove Amber Alert: Child found safe after allegedly abducted by mother
Suspect Ileane Shelton
ORANGE, Calif. - A 2-year-old child was found safe after an Amber Alert was issued Wednesday afternoon in Garden Grove.
According to Garden Grove Police, 2-year-old Harmony Talley went to Chuck E. Cheese with a social worker for a supervised visit with her biological mom, Ileane Shelton.
Immediately after they met, a second suspect entered the building and pepper sprayed the social worker. Shelton, 21, then grabbed Talley and fled, police said in a statement.
After abducting her daughter, Shelton and the second suspect entered a white Toyota Rav4, being driven by a third suspect, and fled the location.
Officers then contacted California Highway Patrol and issued an Amber Alert.
Police say they were able to locate Talley safely at a bus/train station in Palm Springs. Shelton and the second suspect were also located there and taken into custody.
The second suspect has since been identified as 21-year-old Kweli Murphy. Police are working to identify and locate the third suspect.
Both Murphy and Shelton were booked into the Orange County Jail.
