According to a press release, officers of the Blaine Police Department were dispatched to the Blaine Medical Center at 11855 Ulysses Street NE in Blaine on an unresponsive 21-month old male child. Life-saving efforts were administered by Blaine Police Department officers, Allina Ambulance personnel and medical staff but the child was declared deceased at the scene. The child’s mother was also at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation. The investigation is focused on an apartment in the 1500 block of 87th Avenue NE, in Blaine.

A suspect sought in connection with the death is identified as Soto-Lopez, born Dec. 6, 1991. He is a Hispanic male, last seen wearing a black T shirt and jeans.

All of the vehicles Soto-Lopez had access to have been accounted for so the Sheriff’s office have no specific vehicle description. Soto-Lopez is believed to have Olivia-Agular in his custody. He is not the father of the child or a relative. The child was last seen wearing a brown and black jacket with purple pants and brown shoes.

There are grave safety concerns for the 5-year-old that has been seen with Soto-Lopez. There is information to suggest he may be attempting to leave the twin cities metro area.
