Merced Police say he's been on the run for more than a year.
"He took her from us, he took my granddaughter from us. I was never able to hold my granddaughter," said Victoria Hogue, Lopez's mother.

The family is still mourning the loss of Tatyana and her baby, who she was going to name Ayanna. With this arrest, they're preparing themselves for a possible trial.
"I look forward to the day I get to face him in court. I look forward to the day I get to look him in the face and let him know what he took from me," said Hogue.
The family has set up a Facebook page in honor of Tatyana and Ayanna where they post updates about the case and share ways they're memorializing the two.
