Tacoma police release details on how toddler subject to AMBER Alert was found
Tacoma police released additional details Monday about the search that unfolded after a 2-year-old girl went missing Saturday, leading to her safe return hours later. Authorities activated an AMBER Alert across the state a little over two hours after a woman called to report her daughter, Delilah Everett, couldn't be found in or around a residence in the 4200 block of South Prospect Street, according to a police news release Monday. The alert was canceled that afternoon. Police announced that Delilah had been returned to her family unharmed and they were questioning a man in custody, The News Tribune reported. The Tacoma Police Department initially posted on Facebook that a man was suspected of taking the girl in his car after entering a fast-food restaurant at 4112 S. Steele St. at 9:10 a.m. Saturday. A man who wrote that he is Everett's father posted a reply to the Police Department's post Saturday afternoon, saying that he is grateful for the man who took the girl and that the man saved his daughter. The father declined to comment when The News Tribune reached him via direct message Monday, saying he had already talked to several other news teams, but said he would inform The News Tribune if he has a statement in the future. Here's how police found the toddler, according to the news release: ▪ 9:30 a.m: A call came in from a mother who said her child was missing from a residence in the 4200 block of South Prospect Street. An employee at a nearby business called to report that a man recently entered the business, saying he found the child alone outside and was looking for her parents. When the employee told him that police would be called to help, the man left with the child in his silver sedan. Police began searching for the child and the man based on surveillance footage from the business. Officers checked nearby police stations and the Tacoma Mall, contacted local hospitals and Tacoma Fire stations and ran searches through Flock Safety systems and Automated License Plate Reader technology for the man's vehicle. The search was unsuccessful. ▪ 9:52 a.m.: Suspecting a child abduction, the police patrol shift commander activated the department's Child Abduction Response Team (CART), which includes criminal investigators and personnel from various agencies trained to 'quickly and effectively recover a child who has been abducted, or who is missing under suspicious circumstances by utilizing a team of trained personnel.' ▪ 10:30 a.m.: CART members began arriving on scene and were briefed on the situation as patrol officers continued the search. ▪ 11:42 a.m.: In the absence of new information about the child's location or why she was taken, the Washington State Patrol issued an AMBER Alert across the state notifying the public of the missing child. The alert said the girl was last seen walking on South Steele Street before a man drove away with her toward 38th Street, The News Tribune reported. 'Within minutes, dozens of calls came in from community members,' the news release said. ▪ 11:50 a.m.: A caller provided authorities with 'key identifying information' about the man seen with the missing child. ▪ 12:06 p.m.: Based on the caller's information, police located the man's address, where they found the missing child. Police took the man into custody and interviewed him at police headquarters. Police also interviewed the man's friends and family. Police booked the man into the Pierce County Jail on an outstanding warrant and forwarded their investigation to prosecutors for a charging decision. The investigation is still active, and police might share further updates after a charging decision. 'The Tacoma Police Department would like to thank the community and our agency partners for their swift assistance during this incident,' the release says.

AMBER Alert issued for child abducted after fatal Norfolk shooting
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — The Virginia State Police issued an AMBER Alert Monday afternoon for a 4-year-old boy missing after a fatal shooting in Norfolk. The child is believed to be in extreme danger. Norfolk Police said they are searching for 27-year-old Tyli Scott, who allegedly took 4-year-old Kai Foreman after a fatal shooting on East Liberty Street around 11:40 a.m. Norfolk Police and Virginia State Police issued different names for the child, but VSP has since corrected the error. According to officials, just after 11:30 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 900 block of East Liberty Street for reports of a possible shooting. Upon arrival to the scene, officers found a woman who was later pronounced dead at the scene. Norfolk Police Chief Mark Talbot spoke with reporters shortly after and provided additional details. He said officers arrived to find the female victim lying in the front yard of a home. Shortly afterwards, police said they are requesting the public's assistance in finding the missing 4-year-old, who is believed to be with Tyli Scott. The AMBER alert issued by VSP says Scott is 6'1, weighs 173 pounds, with black braids and was last seen wearing khakis, plaid shirt and a ski mask. Norfolk Police Chief Mark Talbot said Foreman was last seen wearing a gray True Religion t-shirt, basketball shorts and red crocs. A photo of Foreman can be found below: Police said Scott is believed to be armed and dangerous and that Foreman is in danger. 'We believe that this was a targeted event. It wasn't random by any stretch of the imagination,' Chief Talbot said. At this time, though, NPD is unsure of the relationship between Tyli Scott and the murder victim and the child. During his interview with reporters, Chief Talbot said Norfolk Police were requesting that Virginia State Police issue an AMBER Alert in this case. A short time later one was sent out. WAVY tried to access the VSP AMBER Alert website to see if a photo of the suspect was provided, but the site remains down. VSP says the two were last seen on foot. If you have any information about this case, you can submit an anonymous tip by calling 1-888-LOCK-U-UP, downloading the P3 tips app to a mobile device, or visiting and submitting a tip.

The child, Kia Foreman, is believed to be in extreme danger. According to authorities, the abduction occurred at approximately 11:40 AM in the 900 block of East Liberty Street. Kia Foreman is described as a Black male with black hair and brown eyes. He stands 3 feet 6 inches tall and weighs around 40 pounds. At the time of his disappearance, Kia was wearing red Crocs, blue shorts and a grey True Religion T-shirt. The suspect has been identified as 27-year-old Tyli Nekah Scott, a Black male, standing 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing 173 pounds. He has black hair styled in small braids and brown eyes. Scott was last seen wearing khaki pants, a plaid shirt and a ski mask. Citizens are asked to stay alert and report any sightings of the suspect or child to law enforcement immediately by calling 911 or contacting the Norfolk Police Department. The Norfolk Police Department also shared a photo of Kia Foreman on X (formerly Twitter). They wrote, 'Norfolk Police are continuing this investigation and are asking for the public's help to locate a missing 5-year-old believed to be in the company of Tyli Scott, 27. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Norfolk Crime Line.' An AMBER Alert is a rapid public notification system used by law enforcement agencies to help locate and safely recover abducted children. The system stands for "America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response". It was created in memory of 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was abducted and murdered in Texas in 1996. When law enforcement confirms that a child has been abducted and is believed to be in imminent danger, an AMBER Alert is issued. The alert quickly disseminates information about the child, the suspected abductor and any vehicle involved through television, radio, highway signs, mobile phones and online platforms to mobilize the public in the search effort.
