Her son was then found in a baby carseat outside a drugstore a few blocks away.
Police said they received a 911 call shortly after from a member of the public who spotted the child outside the CVS Pharmacy at 4599 Sheridan Street, in the Emerald Hills neighborhood.
The baby was okay and officers reunited him with his mother.
'I was going crazy. I'm more calm now because my baby's safe. But I was going crazy,' the mother, who asked to remain anonymous, told Local 10 News.
'This man — literally I all I did was get out to go put gas (in the car). I turned around. he's gone with my baby and all of my belongings.
'Right now, I don't have my phone. I have no phone.'
Police said they are actively looking for Fonseca and the woman's vehicle, both of which they haven't located.
