Mother in Bay Area AMBER Alert arrested for dad's homicide
SAN PABLO, Calif. -- A mother and her male companion have been arrested for suspicion of homicide after the father of her children was found dead in San Pablo.
The incident triggered an AMBER Alert that was cancelled after her three kids were found safe overnight at a home in Richmond.
The mother has been identified as Alicia Ortez, 35. Neighbors identified the father as Oscar Anguiano.
Anguiano and the kids moved into the neighborhood a few months ago and the father was described as a friendly man devoted to his children.
"He seemed like a really nice dad. He was always with his kids playing, bringing them food, like he was always nice," neighbor Cristian Sotelo said.
Police say they're not aware of any criminal history of violence between the mother and father. Neighbors don't know either, but Angelica Ruiz says that during a play date, Anguiano's daughter mentioned that visits with her mom were limited.
