It was June 3rd, just after 6 p.m. Surveillance video from a Nest cam shows the mother crossing 28th Street on Sanchez. After she walks out of frame, you can hear her screaming and seconds later, her baby crying. Someone appears to run up the hill after the attack.
The mother was coming from Jess Farb's home when it happened.
"Nobody should be a victim of a senseless crime like this," said Farb.

"We're casting a wide net we're keeping an open mind," said Hart.
Residents let investigators know they're fed up with crime in their neighborhood.
"Does it take a mom getting beat with a baby before you guys spend 160 hours on it," asked one man.
"This is part of building trust with the community to let them know we're going to be with you in these extreme circumstances but we're also with you day to day," said Captain Hart.
