Meet the baby that the late Selma Police officer Gonzalo Carrasco Jr. never got to hold

Roughly two months after Selma Police Officer Gonzalo Carrasco Jr. died in the line of duty, pictures have emerged on social media of his newborn baby.

And some say the baby looks a lot like his dad.

Photographer Aryana Picazo shared photos of Carrasco’s son, whose name is Maximus Gonzalo Carrasco, with the baby boy swaddled tightly in a navy blue blanket and with the Selma officer’s police badge.

Picazo, who has taken professional photos for nine years, said she was trying to get the photos to resemble a baby in a police uniform.

“I got emotional just taking the photos,” said Picazo, who is a family friend of one of Carrasco’s relatives. “You see this cute little baby that’s growing and represents his dad in a way. He’s in a blanket that’s the color of a police officer’s uniform and there’s his dad’s badge.

“Maybe he will grow up to become a police officer, too.”

Picazo said the baby’s family brought the blanket and badge for the photo session, which was taken in early March when Maximus was 10 days old.

Carrasco never got to meet his son.

Carrasco was killed while on patrol Jan. 31.
