AMBER Alert issued for 4-year-old boy after deadly Norfolk shooting
An AMBER Alert was issued Monday afternoon for a 4-year-old boy who police say was abducted after a fatal shooting in Norfolk.
The Norfolk Police Department said its officers 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. on Monday, June 16.
The child is believed to be in extreme danger, according to Virginia State Police.
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.
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.
