The suspect in the incident, 38-year-old Daniel Segura, was considered armed and dangerous, according to the California Highway Patrol.
He took the child, Lexi Segura, from Rancho Cucamonga at 5:40 p.m. amid a fight with his estranged wife, said Jodi Miller, a public information officer with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
“They were in an argument prior to him leaving the location with the child without the mother’s consent, displaying a handgun in a threatening manner,” Miller told KTLA. "We are concerned for the safety of the child."
The suspect had threatened suicide by cop, according to sheriff's officials' initial bulletin.
The two were believed to be traveling in a red 2012 Mitsubishi Galant with California license plate No. 6WEE209.
Lexi was described as Latina with brown hair and eyes. She is around 3 feet tall and weighs 35 pounds and was last seen wearing a baby-blue shirt with gold writing, jeans and pink shoes, officials said.
