Police Searching For 2-Year-Old Boy Allegedly Kidnapped During Armed Robbery
DeKalb County Police Department in Georgia are searching for a 2-year-old boy they say was kidnapped at gunpoint, according to reports.
Authorities said they are looking for 2-year-old J’asiah Deon Mitchell, whose father reported him kidnapped on Wednesday around 11:23 p.m. in the 3300 block of Flat Shoals Road in Panthersville.
The father says someone took the boy from him as he was stopped at a stop sign, but right now, police say they can’t verify his story.
This family is searching the East Point apartment complex that is the last place they knew J’asiah Mitchell was.
His mother, Asia Mitchell ‚said her son was with his father when she got a call from the child’s father, who claimed he had been robbed and that the gunmen took J’asiah.
“Leaving out of a neighborhood and he was leaving, like stopping at the stop sign or whatever, like that, and a car pulled out in front of him at gunpoint and took my baby, because they couldn’t take anything from him. That’s the story that he and his mom are telling me,” Asia Mitchell said.
The family doesn’t believe that story and the police don’t either.
That is why DeKalb Police aren’t doing an active search and that’s also why the Georgia Bureau of Investigation decided not to issue an Amber Alert. They said this case doesn’t fit the criteria.
“He’s only two. He doesn’t know what’s going on, just like I don’t know what’s going on. I’m just as confused as he is and he’s probably scared as I am,” Asia Mitchell said.
The family will continue to look and said they’re hoping the police are actively investigating.
“If anybody sees him, just call 911. That’s all we asking,” family member Chris Douglas said.
Police said Mitchell’s alleged kidnapper is driving a black sedan. The make, model and tag of the car have not been released.
Mitchell was last seen wearing Buzz Lightyear pajamas. Police have not released the name or description of his alleged kidnapper.
Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to call 911 or 770-724-7850.
The investigation remains ongoing.
