Virginia Amber Alert: Who is Tyli Nekah Scott, suspect in 4-year-old's abduction
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.

After Nagaland, Manipur issues order ‘to prevent anyone from entering state illegally'
Following Nagaland, the Manipur government has followed suit and issued a memorandum for heightened vigilance against the 'influx of illegal immigrants.' While the Nagaland government, in an order issued on Monday, had cited apprehension of entry into the state by people displaced by the Assam government's ongoing eviction drives, the Manipur Home Department memorandum cites 'the turmoil situation in neighbouring countries.' The memorandum directs the Deputy Commissioners and Superintendents of Police of all districts to ensure vigil at international, inter-state and inter-district boundaries 'to prevent anyone from crossing into the state's boundaries illegally.' Manipur shares an international border with Myanmar and it has an Inner Line Permit regime, under which any Indian citizen, who does not belong to the state, is required to procure an official travel document called an Inner Line Permit (ILP), issued by the state government concerned, to visit or stay. It also directs that District level Task Forces 'for checking of illegal migrants' be made operational 'at the earliest' comprising an ASP of the district, an officer from the district administration, a paramilitary representative and biometric staff. The memorandum spells out steps to be taken in the event that any such 'illegal movement' is detected: recording the biographic and biometric details of the persons; placing them in secured designated locations 'without allowing them to get mixed up or naturalised with local populace'; and deporting after due procedure. The question of alleged large scale illegal immigration from Myanmar into Manipur is one of the most contested issues in the state, particularly between the Meitei and Kuk-Zo communities which are in conflict with each other. Stakeholders from the Meitei community allege that illegal immigration of Chins from Myanmar, who are of the same ethnicity of the Kuki-Zos, is they key reason for the volatility in the region, a stance also expressed by the Union Home Minister.

'I was just scared': Black student punched, dragged by Florida deputies draws civil rights outcry
FLORIDA: A Black college student shown on video being punched and dragged from his car by Florida law officers during a traffic stop faces a long recovery from injuries that include a concussion and a lip punctured by one of his teeth, his lawyers said Wednesday. At a news conference in Jacksonville, 22-year-old William McNeil Jr. spoke softly as he made a few brief comments with his family and civil rights attorneys by his side. 'That day I just really wanted to know why I was getting pulled over and why I needed to step out of the car," he said. "I knew I didn't do nothing wrong. I was really just scared.' McNeil is a biology major who played in the marching band at Livingstone College, a historically Black Christian college in Salisbury, North Carolina, Livingstone President Anthony Davis said. An arrest video captures the motorist being punched Footage of the violent arrest has sparked nationwide outrage, with civil rights lawyers accusing authorities of fabricating their arrest report. The video shows McNeil was sitting in the driver's seat, asking to speak to the Jacksonville officers' supervisor, when they broke his window, punched him in the face, pulled him from the vehicle, punched him again, and threw him to the ground. He was then knocked to the ground by an officer who delivered six closed-fist punches to the hamstring of his right thigh, police reports show. Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday defended law enforcement officers and implied the video was posted to advance a 'narrative' and generate attention on social media. 'That's what happens in so many of these things," DeSantis said. "There's a rush to judgment. There's a, there's a desire to try to get views and clicks by creating division.'
