ComPol Says Police Patrol Went Looking for Gabriel  

Today, Commissioner of Police Chester Williams expressed his sorrow over the tragic fate of little Gabriel Orellano. He shared that a woman police officer, who was at a hair salon at the time, saw Gabriel run by. She immediately called the 911 hotline to report the sighting. Despite her quick action and the efforts of patrols to locate him, they were unable to find Gabriel.

“It is telling on us as a society to see that the child was seen running through traffic. Several vehicles almost hit him, and nobody stopped to check to see who the child was, where he was going, or anything, like. They just left him alone. It ended up in that sad way that no one would want to see a child, you know. We also reviewed the issue with the police officer who had given an interview to the media, I think its Love FM, stating that she had seen the child and had called the 911 and gave the information. We have checked on that and it is indeed true. She called and it showed that immediately after she called, the diary entry showed that she passed the information on to the patrols that were out. The patrols went and checked. Unfortunately, they were not able to find him, and again, you can see in the video, the child was moving very fast, and so, because of that, the patrol was not able to locate the child.”
