Abducted California boy found in Mexico

SAN DIEGO (UPI) -- Officials say a 9-year-old boy snatched by his father -- who left him at a church in Mexico before being fatally struck by a bus -- is back home in California.

Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said Ryan Ramos, who had been the subject of an Amber alert, was left at the Mormon church in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, by his father Sunday morning, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Monday. KDBC-TV in El Paso, Texas, reported the U.S. Consulate has confirmed the child had been returned to his family in Southern California Monday.

Lonnie Ramos, 46, was alleged to have abducted his son after shooting his estranged wife, Ryan's mother, in the face and abdomen during a custody exchange at Ramos's home.

Amormino said Gynnae Ramos, 41, was initially hospitalized in critical condition but her status had since been upgraded to good condition and she was expected to survive, KDBC-TV reported.
