Authorities searching for 2 missing American children last seen in Tijuana

SAN DIEGO — Baja California authorities are asking for the public's help to locate two missing U.S. citizen children who are believed to be in danger — Juliette Itzel Barrera Garibay, 2, and Sebastián Isaiah Garibay, 6.

The siblings were last seen on Sept. 2 in Tijuana, Mexico, in the company of their mother, Precius Alessandra Kari Garibay.

The Baja California Prosecutor's Office issued an Amber Alert on Monday afternoon, asking for help finding both children, who are U.S. nationals.

According to the authorities, it is feared that they are in danger and could be "victims of a crime, or (have) suffer(ed) damage to their health." Telemundo 20 reported that initial accounts indicate the children's mother may have been the victim of a crime over the weekend in Tijuana.

Officials described Juliette Itzel Barrera Garibay as having long straight brown hair, a small forehead, small ears, an oval face, an oval chin, semi-bushy eyebrows, a light-brown complexion, a slim face, a small, flat nose, a small mouth, thin lips, and small brown eyes. She is approximately 3 feet tall and weighs about 33 pounds.

Sebastián Isaiah Garibay has short, straight black hair, medium-sized ears, a round face, an oval chin, slanted dark brown eyes, a dark complexion, robust cheeks, and bushy eyebrows, according to a description provided by authorities. He is about 5 feet tall and weighs approximately 130 pounds.
