Belizean Teen Kidnapped in L.A.

A story coming out of Inglewood, California tonight has created concern in the Belizean American community in Los Angeles. Last night at nine, 13-year-old Kalan Dopson was kidnapped at gunpoint in front of a residence in Inglewood. Kalan is described as a Belizean who has only been in the United States for a few months.

At the time of the kidnapping, he was with his uncle. They had just pulled up into the driveway of their home, when two men of Latin descent approached with guns and dragged Kalan down the driveway and down the street. Inglewood police say they have no known motive for the kidnapping at this time. We were unable to contact or locate relatives of Kalan Dopson in Belize.
