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

The Virginia State Police and the Virginia Missing Children Clearinghouse have issued an AMBER Alert for a 4-year-old boy abducted Monday morning in Norfolk. The child, Kia Foreman, is believed to be in extreme danger.
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.

'Could've killed someone': Fans slam Shedeur Sanders over speeding apology and courtroom no-show

IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders finally addressed his two recent speeding violations and while he said the right words, many fans say he didn't mean them. Shedeur isn't just Deion Sanders' son, he's the presumed QB of the future in Cleveland and already a high-profile rookie. But this string of off-field issues, combined with how he handles them in public, could shape how fans and media view him early in his career. Browns QB Shedeur Sanders under fire for laughing during apology over reckless driving The speeding alone was a warning. The second ticket, the court no-show, and now a half-smiled apology? That's starting to look like a pattern. In a clip that surfaced Thursday night, Shedeur said: 'I've made some wrong choices, I can own up to it — I learn from them.' On paper, it's accountability. But the tone, complete with a casual laugh and a smirk had social media calling him out immediately. The vibe? Less 'I'm sorry,' more 'whatever.' Back-to-back violations, no court appearance, and now a PR nightmare Let's rewind: Shedeur was pulled over going 99 mph just last week. Days later, he got another ticket for driving over 100 mph at 12:24 a.m., just outside Cleveland. Reports also say he didn't show up to court for one of the appearances, making fans question whether he really takes any of it seriously. Now that he's finally speaking publicly, fans expected remorse. Instead, they got what many saw as a rehearsed apology with no emotion. Others took it further, saying the apology was empty, and he's coming off like he doesn't understand the seriousness of reckless driving. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Поза во сне может многое рассказать о вашем характере!

Everyone makes mistakes, especially young players under pressure. But NFL fans are ruthless, and once they feel like someone isn't taking responsibility, they start sharpening the knives. If Shedeur Sanders wants to win over Cleveland and the league, it's going to take more than a quick soundbite. The apology is step one, the attitude that follows will say more than any words can.

Trio dines and dashes on $200 bill at Chicago restaurant; owners reject payment and file police report instead

A Chicago restaurant is speaking out after a group of three individuals dined and dashed, leaving behind a $200 tab for shrimp and lobster and a trail of disappointment. The incident, which occurred at Phlavz, a Black-owned restaurant on the city's South Side, has stirred both local outrage and an online debate about dine-and-dash prevention. The act was caught on CCTV, showing the three suspects laughing as they quickly exited the restaurant without paying. 'It's actually disappointing, very disappointing to see that from the community we actually serve," said co-owner Andrew Bonsu. Also read: 'Visit Thailand, see Indians everywhere': Video of desis dancing faces backlash online Phlavz co-owner Phil Simpson added that the act had direct human consequences. 'The young lady that was serving that table, she's got kids at home," he said, highlighting the personal impact on staff members who rely on tips and fair service. Although the restaurant was able to identify the individuals involved, the owners declined to accept payment after the fact. Instead, they opted to 'do it the right way,' filing a police report for theft to hold the individuals accountable. According to the Illinois Restaurant Association, dine-and-dash incidents have increased in Chicago since the pandemic, putting added strain on an industry already grappling with inflation, staffing shortages, and safety concerns. The CCTV footage has since circulated online, where it has sparked widespread condemnation. Commenters expressed both anger and frustration, not only at the suspects but also at the growing trend of restaurant theft. 'I still don't understand why some restaurants don't make people pay upfront when they order. Problem solved,' one user wrote. Another echoed the sentiment: 'Pretty soon paying before you eat is going to be a thing and we can thank these people for it. Not that I mind because I intend to pay for my meal anyway. But I think that's the only way to stop it!'

‘Keep my bag or I'll crash the plane': Bengaluru-Surat Air India flight delayed as doctor threatens crew; deboarded

BENGALURU: A 36-year-old doctor was arrested on Tuesday after she created ruckus aboard an Air India flight from Bengaluru to Surat and allegedly threatened to crash the aircraft when cabin crew objected to her placing baggage in a restricted area near the crew cabin. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The incident delayed the flight by two hours and led to a security scare. The accused, identified as Vyas Hiral Mohanbhai, from Shivanahalli near Yelahanka, was travelling alone on AI Flight IX2749 with two pieces of baggage. According to police, the Ayurvedic doctor bypassed the check-in counter, insisting on carrying both bags on board. The situation escalated after Mohanbhai boarded the flight and left one of her bags near the crew cabin while taking the other to her seat, 20F. Woman deboarded after alert from flight captain When the cabin crew asked her to keep the bag in the overhead compartment near her seat, she refused and insisted they keep it with them. Despite repeated requests by the crew and later the captain, Mohanbhai refused to comply and began abusing the staff. The confrontation soon involved fellow passengers, who also tried to reason with her, but she reportedly shouted at them. At one point, she allegedly threatened to crash the flight if the crew moved her baggage. With the situation spiralling, the captain alerted security and called CISF personnel, who boarded the aircraft and offloaded her. The incident took place between 2.45pm and 5.30pm, according to a complaint filed by Agnimitra Bahinipati, associate manager of security at KIA. Police said Mohanbhai did not stop there. Once taken to KIA police station, she continued to abuse and manhandle police officers, creating further disturbance. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'This was the first time we heard such abusive language in the station,' a senior officer claimed. Her husband, who works in an educational institution in the city and hails from Odisha, appeared before police. He informed them that Mohanbhai had stopped practising medicine and was en route to Gujarat to visit her family. He reportedly told police she had created disturbances in public spaces in the past. Police are now verifying her background and previous incidents.
