Alonzo Wright has never been so happy to make a wrong turn.

Having just dropped off his nephew in the wee hours of March 8, Wright was headed back to the North Freeway when, for reasons he still doesn’t understand, he turned onto Parker Street.

It was then that he saw a man scuttling down a side street. Wright drove past the man, only to notice he was cradling a little girl in his arms.

His first thought: The two were father-daughter. At worst, Wright said, he believed the man was in a custody dispute with his “baby mama” over the girl.

Wright then looked into the 4-year-old girl’s eyes.

“I knew something wasn’t right,” he said Friday. “She looked real cold and uncomfortable.”

7. Good man:

“If you could have that kind of luck every day, you'd probably try to win a lottery or something,” he said. “But I'll take helping that little girl over a lottery any day.”
