The Livingston Police Department received a phone call from Union Pacific Railroad Saturday at approximately 3:30 a.m. that their train had possibly struck an individual laying parallel to the track in Livingston.
Officers arrived on scene and were able to obtain a physical description from the train engineer, who stated the individual was a white male, light colored shirt, and medium build. An extensive search by officers and firement then began around the area where the individual was said to be struck.
After several hours of walking the entire length of the train, searching the area on foot, and using a drone, the individual was never located. The search did reveal a pair of pants, cell phone and boots in the area where the individual was struck. The search was then completed at approximately 7 a.m. and the train continued to its destination.
At approximately 7:30 a.m., Livingston Police received a phone call from Youngs Lane, stating a vehicle was just stolen from a residence and the suspect was a white male wearing a light-colored shirt in his underwear. Officers arrived on scene and began their investigation into the stolen vehicle and this location was adjacent to the railroad tracks on the east side. After conducting the investigation, the victim’s vehicle was entered as stolen and the the individual that was earlier struck by the train could be the suspect.
Later at approximately 9:30 a.m., Livingston Police answered a 911 call from another residence on Youngs Lane, stating they had just found a small infant in their shed behind their residence. After receiving this call, officers and EMS were notified and arrived on scene to find a small infant female child, approximately eight months old with visible bodily injuries.

After Guynes arrived at the hospital, officers were able to collect more information from Guynes. During the investigation, Guynes stated he had left his daughter in a shed, but could not remember where.

The vehicle was found to be owned by Guynes, who had not mentioned anything about his truck. The vehicle was recovered by a tow truck from the wooded area to a secured storage facility and searched for further evidence.
