Authorities were called to a trailer park just after 9 p.m. over a missing 6-month-old infant, who had disappeared from his home after two strangers showed up at the door, according to KSLA-TV.

KSLA reported the woman ran from the attackers and when she returned, the baby was gone.

Police said a woman at the residence opened her door and was sprayed in the face with an unknown substance.

Just over an hour later, investigators responded to a call about a fire and found a baby with "obvious burns over his body," according to the news station.

The baby later died from his injuries. Police are still investigating and haven’t made any arrests.
