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.
