Cabazon Infant Emmanuel Haro Presumed Dead, Parents Jake and Rebecca Haro Arrested
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department confirmed Friday that the parents of a missing infant have been arrested on suspicion of murder following an intensive overnight investigation.
Jake Haro and Rebecca Renee Haro were taken into custody at their residence on Ramona Street in Cabazon, just south of Interstate 10.
Both have been booked into the Riverside County jail system without bail. Investigators stated they believe the couple’s infant son, Emmanuel, is deceased, and efforts are underway to locate and recover his remains.
The case began Thursday evening when Rebecca Haro contacted authorities, reporting that she had been assaulted outside a store in Yucaipa while changing her baby’s diaper.
She initially told deputies the attack rendered her unconscious, and that when she awoke, the baby had been kidnapped.
However, investigators later determined that her account contained inconsistencies. According to a statement from the Sheriff’s Department, Rebecca declined to continue cooperating with the interview, and evidence subsequently revealed that no kidnapping had occurred.
“Based on the evidence, investigators determined a kidnapping in Yucaipa did not occur. It is believed Emmanuel is deceased and the search to recover his remains is ongoing,” the statement read.
Officials emphasized the seriousness of the case, noting that Jake Haro was already on probation for a prior child abuse case and out on bond for a separate firearm offense.
Sheriff’s officials described the circumstances as “tragic” and thanked partnering agencies, including the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office, Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, as well as the community and media, for their assistance in bringing attention to the case.
“The circumstances surrounding this investigation are tragic, and we will continue to search for Emmanuel,” Sheriff’s officials said in a public statement. “We trust our justice system will hold the parents accountable.”
The investigation remains active, and authorities are urging anyone with information related to the case to come forward as the search for Emmanuel continues.
MT. JULIET, Tenn. — Authorities have identified two victims killed during an active shooter incident at Cedar Creek Marina in Mt. Juliet late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as Gary Haley, a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, is deceased following an officer-involved shooting, officials confirmed.
Mount Juliet Police officers were dispatched at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday to the Cedar Creek Marina, located in the 9000 block of Saundersville Road, after receiving reports of a man threatening another individual on the docks.

Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was later identified as Robby Brogdon, who was transported to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Brogdon later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators determined that the suspected shooter had retreated to a boat within the marina and had barricaded himself inside.
The standoff continued for several hours as officers secured the scene and attempted to resolve the situation safely.
At approximately 1:00 a.m. Saturday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) reported that the suspect engaged responding officers and fired shots at them under circumstances that remain under investigation. Officers returned fire.
