“An adult male witness reported that while at the park with an adult female companion, an armed suspect approached their vehicle and fired a weapon in their direction,” police said in a statement.
“The male witness ran from the location and upon his return, discovered blood near his vehicle and his female companion was missing,” police said. “Detectives are actively working this investigation and following up on all leads.”
According to family members, Andrea Vazquez was at Penn Park on Penn Street Sunday night with her boyfriend when an armed man approached their vehicle and started shooting at them.
Her sister, Edlyn Vazquez, said the boyfriend took off but when he returned, Andrea was gone.
"As he turned his back to ask for help, in that moment, my sister was kidnapped," said Edlyn.
She said the boyfriend saw blood near their car and realized Andrea was gone. Edlyn said she was able to track Andrea's location for a few minutes using Apple's Find My iPhone feature.
"I tracked it to ... going down the 60. I started following it and the location stopped in Moreno Valley, and that's the last known location that I have of her," she said.
Retired LAPD detective supervisor Moses Castillo is helping the Vazquez family and believes Andrea could be in grave danger.
"We believe that Andrea was hit, that's according to her boyfriend that saw blooding coming out somewhere from her body," said Castillo. "We do know that this case led us all the way to Moreno Valley. She can be anywhere from Riverside County to L.A. County. We're very concerned."
