Newborn abducted, mother stabbed in south Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A statewide Amber Alert has been issued after a newborn just four days old was abducted and his mother stabbed.

Metro police said the infant, Yair Anthony Carrillo, was abducted at 2:40 p.m. Tuesday from his home on East Ridge Drive in south Nashville, south of Harding Place and just west of Interstate 24.

The newborn's mother, 30-year-old Maria Gurrolla, was stabbed as many as eight times by the abductor and is hospitalized with wounds to her neck, head, thigh and breast.

Her condition is said to be serious but not life-threatening.

The abductor is described as a heavy set white woman, approximately 30 years of age.

She is said to be five feet, four inches tall with blonde hair.

She was wearing a black shirt and blue jeans and driving a black four-door car that resembles an unmarked police patrol car.

Gurrolla told police the suspect knocked on the door claiming to be an immigration worker.

The mother allowed her entry, after which the stabbing occurred.

Anyone with information is urged to call the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
