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.

Pittsburgh police, other law enforcement agencies called to disperse large crowd on South Side
Pittsburgh police say they had to call in extra help from neighboring law enforcement agencies early Sunday morning to safely disperse a large crowd of people who had gathered on East Carson Street. No one was injured and no property was damaged, but before that, the South Side Entertainment Patrol made several arrests. Some were gun-related, others had to do with fights. Citations were given for public intoxication, underage drinking, and public urination. Big crowds on East Carson are nothing new at 2 a.m. for South Side neighbors. "I didn't bat an eyebrow about it," a resident who goes by Vinny said. Vinny says the crowds pick up each weekend after he and most others are already asleep, around the time bars close up. "It happens because everyone is intoxicated, everyone's drinking," he added. In Sunday's case, police had to call in help from surrounding departments to clear out what they estimated was a crowd of 1,500 to 2,000 people, with some of them fighting each other. Once help from other departments arrived, police were able to quickly clear the crowd, a statement from Pittsburgh Public Safety said. "It's a shame because this has been going on for five years. We know where and when it's happening, and the city can't stop it," said business owner Rich Cupka. "We have a lack of police. We're 150, 200 short." Cupka says the fact that the police couldn't clear the crowd on their own proves his point. "Law and order would take over if you had enough police to police the area," Cupka added. Then-Police Chief Larry Scirroto said in September 2024 that the problem on the South Side isn't due to a lack of officers, but rather bars aren't being held accountable. "I'm thankful that we have a level of cooperation to hold problematic business owners accountable," Scirotto said in September. "For far too long, some of the businesses over there, and there are just a few to be quite honest, that operate in a manner that they don't take accountability for the actions and behavior of their patrons, as if once those individuals get outside, it's the responsibility of the police and not the responsibility of the bar ownership to regulate the type of client they solicit and more importantly, their behavior." Cupka disagrees, saying that while certain bars are an issue, the lack of police is the main problem. "I don't see any relief in sight," Cupka said. On the weekends, 25 police officers are assigned to the South Side in addition to the 10 that are part of the Entertainment Patrol. Business owners say overall crime on the South Side is down, and Vinny believes the unfortunate reality is that the South Side has gotten a bad rap. "Everybody just have a drink. Come to the South Side. It's all good down here," he said, adding that visitors shouldn't let what happens late at night keep them from visiting.
