Oakland police are investigating a homicide after the body of a 2-year-old child was found in rural Napa County.
According to OPD, the child's death happened in Oakland. Someone connected to the death was identified and arrested with the help of San Pablo police.
OPD says that the death is still under investigation and is not releasing any other details.
 
San Pablo police helped detain a person with “a close connection to the child” in relation with the case — though no murder or child abuse charges had been filed Thursday afternoon against that person in the child’s death, Armstrong said. He did not provide further specifics about the potential suspect.
Law enforcement sources, however, confirmed that the person detained was a 21-year-old Antioch man who acted as the pimp of the boy’s 17-year-old mother. He is being held on a felony human trafficking charge of coercing a minor to engage in commercial xes, along with the additional felony charges of pimping, and pandering, according to court documents obtained by this news organization.
The boy’s mother began dating the 21-year-old man in late September and soon began working as a prostitute for him in various cities across the region until just before Christmas, the court documents say. That included at least one stop near 19th Avenue and E. 15th Street, in Oakland’s San Antonio neighborhood.

Police said the boy appears to have been killed somewhere along International Boulevard, not far from where his mother was being trafficked. No cause of death had been determined by Thursday afternoon, though an autopsy was planned, Armstrong said.
San Pablo police pulled the 21-year-old man and 17-year-old girl over in the early morning hours of Dec. 23, during which an officer realized that the teen — who lived in Fairfield — was the subject of a missing person’s report, the court documents said. Until that point, the man and the teen girl had been living in the man’s vehicle and at a Stockton motel.

Armstrong said that the Alameda County Department of Children and Family Services did not appear to have had any prior involvement with the child. The county department is the main civil agency responsible for responding to reports of child abuse and neglect across the county.
