NORFOLK, Va. – An AMBER Alert that was issued on Sunday has been canceled after police said the 7-month-old girl they were looking for was found safe. Police said she had been abducted, and they now have a suspect in custody.
The AMBER Alert, issued by Virginia State Police and the Virginia Missing Children Clearinghouse on behalf of the Norfolk Police Department, was canceled within the hour after it was sent.
Police said the girl, Delysia Solei-Promise Jones, was abducted on Sunday, Feb. 11 at 7:30 a.m. The alert said she was last seen on Washington Avenue in Norfolk and police believed she was in extreme danger.
When they issued the AMBER Alert, police said they believed she was abducted by a 35-year-old man named Delsean Marquee Mickle.
Mickle is now in custody, police say.
Court records show in recent years, Mickle pleaded guilty to drug and weapons violations, including a felony charge of being a felon in possession of ammunition, a misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana, and a misdemeanor charge of carrying a concealed weapon. Records also show he pleaded guilty to embezzlement in 2013 — his first felony charge.
