TAMPA, Fla. – The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office has arrested four suspects after a domestic disagreement involving an infant and the parents.

On Monday, at 11:12 a.m., HCSO’s Communications Center received a call stating that the mother in this incident, Zaniyah Letasia Reed, 16, arrived at a residence in Tampa in the 4800 block of 87th Street in an attempt to retrieve her child from the father, Etreveon Randle.

Deputies say she was accompanied by Keandre Lacey Brooks, 29, Taylor Raven Wildgoose, 31, and Timothy Michah Settles, 28.

The parties involved engaged in a verbal altercation, and Settles and Brooks demanded to take the child at gunpoint.

Detectives safely located the child at a McDonald’s nearly seven miles away at 1:17 p.m.

“This is an innocent child who did not deserve to be subject to this kind of violence over a custody disagreement,” said Sheriff Chronister. “I’m incredibly thankful for our deputies and detectives who worked efficiently and effectively on this case to ensure the child’s safety. The well-being of our most vulnerable population, our children, is paramount. As your Sheriff, I am committed to protecting our children and keeping them out of harm’s way.”
