Police say 2 children missing after mother killed in Sacramento home may be in Mexico with father​

Police are trying to reach the father of two children who went missing after a woman's death in a Sacramento home.

According to the Sacramento Police Department, officers responded to a medical aid call along the 3700 block of Didcot Circle just before 7:30 p.m. July 8.

Police found 28-year-old Angelica Bravo inside the home. She was ultimately pronounced dead.

Detectives responded to investigate the death but during the investigation, they were unable to find Bravo's two children, four-year-old Athena Lee and two-year-old Mateo Lee, or the father, Camron Lee.

A police spokesperson says the children are considered missing, but Lee is not. They are only trying to speak with him to get more information about the whereabouts of the children.

Police said Camron could be driving a grey 2023 Honda Passport, with license plate 9JUS091. They later said Tuesday morning it's believed to be in Mexico, meaning the criteria for an AMBER Alert hasn't been met.

Sacramento family seeks help in finding missing children Athena and Mateo Lee​

Ahead of National Missing Persons Day, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Sacramento Police Department are intensifying efforts to find 5-year-old Athena Lee and 3-year-old Mateo Lee, who have been missing for more than a year and a half, as their family continues to hope for their safe return.

"Keep your eyes open and help us find our grandchildren," said Dawn Bodea, a family member, as the Sacramento family continues to search for their missing loved ones without any new information or closure.

"Things are just a lot quieter now. We just miss them a lot. Our life is not as full; it seems more empty without them," Bodea said.

Athena and Mateo were last seen shortly before their mother, 28-year-old Angelica Bravo, was found dead inside her ex-boyfriend's home in North Sacramento, leaving investigators with a complex and ongoing case.

"What was complex about this case was we were waiting on a cause and manner of death for Angelica Bravo, so when Camron was missing, the kids were missing, we didn't have a murder warrant for Camron at that time. What was difficult was he's also the custodial parent for the kids, so we didn't have a kidnapping case at that point," said Anthony Gamble of the Sacramento police.

Investigators believe Athena and Mateo are with their father, Camron Lee, who police say is the suspect in Angelica's killing. With the children's whereabouts still unknown, the FBI remains involved.

"We don't know where the children are, so our reach is global, and certainly we want to bring them back where they may be," said Gina Swankie of the FBI. "These children are changing rapidly. They may not even remember what happened that day, so they may be going about their everyday day-to-day lives."

As time passes without any new details, Bodea said, "We think about them every day, we pray for them every day."

Just two days away from Mateo's fourth birthday, the family is holding on to memories.

Despite the lack of answers, the family is staying active on social media, hoping someone, somewhere, may recognize the children and speak up.

"I just really hope that if anybody does see—even if they think—that looks like it could be them, you know, just report it," Bodea said.

At this time, Camron Lee faces charges for murder and possession of an assault weapon. A federal arrest warrant has also been issued for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to Lee's arrest, as well as an additional $25,000 for information that leads to the safe recovery of Athena and Mateo.

They haven't found him either right? No.

Someone's helping him or something, I'd hope they have a good idea of where he is. By now. No electronic trail? Then other's are helping or he has access to a lot of cash but even then....

Camron Lee charged with Sacramento mother's 2024 homicide, 2 missing children reunited with family​

Almost two years after a Sacramento mother was killed and her two children disappeared, the man wanted in connection with her death is in custody, officials said.

Camron Lee, 40, was arrested in connection with the 2024 death of 28-year-old Angelica Bravo, Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho said during a Tuesday news conference. Lee faces a murder charge and three assault weapon charges.

"Today, we are relieved to say that our mission is complete," said Eugene Wu, acting FBI special agent for the Sacramento field office.


Wu said investigators received a tip about two weeks ago and worked with law enforcement partners in Mexico to arrest Lee on Sunday in the Primo Tapia community of Baja California.

Sacramento Police Chief Zachary Bales believes that Lee fled to Mexico to avoid being prosecuted in connection with Bravo's death. Officers who took Lee into custody also found the children and reunited them with their maternal grandmother.

Mateo is now 4 years old, and Athena, 5. Officials said both children are in good health.
