EARLIER | An Amber Alert has been issued for a 10-month-old boy in Liberty.
Liberty police said in a Facebook post that around 5:50 p.m. officers responded to the 300 block of North Withers on a reported kidnapping.
The child, identified as Car’mani Colston-Miller, was wearing a yellow T-shirt and red sweatpants. He has short, black, curly hair.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said in an alert that Car'mani was taken from his father.
Police said the suspects – Car’mani’s mother, Ashley Haygood, and man identified as Twanty and an unknown man – were driving a white GMC or Chevy “with black after-market wheel.” The license plate is unknown.
The men, according to police, were armed.
Haygood is 31 years old and has brown eyes. She weighs 154 pounds and is 5 feet, 1 inch, tall.
Twanty, whose real name is not known, has long dreadlocks.
Liberty police said the boy's father – who 41 Action News is only identifying as Carlos – suffered "very minor injuries," but there were no reported gun shots or stabbings in the area.
“Like, they came with guns, and I got my baby and they start snatching and pulling and hitting me and try to pry the baby out of my arms," Carlos said. "I was holding him because I'm protective. I’m a father, like, I love my son."
The three suspects are believed to have been heading southbound on North Withers Road.
Kansas City, Missouri police are providing assistance, and law enforcement officials are working to make contact with the suspects.
Anyone with information is asked to call Liberty police at 816.439.4701 or 911.
