Police in Lincoln Park are looking for a silver GMC Envoy after the family of a six-year-old said the people driving it tried kidnapping her Saturday.
The grandmother of the victim, Shannon Ross, said it happened in broad daylight, near their home on Ferris Avenue, not far from Fort Street.
The victim’s brother, 9-year-old Gage, said he witnessed the incident.
“I was, like, ‘oh no, something’s about to go real bad bad bad,'” Gage said. “I was right next to my grandma’s car; my sister went to throw something away in the garbage can over there, and a SUV, a silver car, pulled up, and it stopped back, and they rolled their windows down and tried grabbing her.”

Gage said there were two men in the vehicle, and both were wearing black ski masks and all black clothes.
“I told my sister to run, and I ran in the house with my sister, telling my grandma to call 911,” Gage said.
