What happened?
Officers began investigating after responding to an apartment complex on Bloom Road around 2:20 p.m. An AMBER Alert was issued more than 6 hours later for Brandis Tyrone Smith Jr.
“Just very devastating, especially knowing it happened to people that lived here.” That’s what neighbor Stacey Howe said when she heard about the investigation.
The AMBER Alert identifies Smith Jr. as being 4 years old and approximately 3-foot-6, weighing 40 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black shirt with the words “daddy’s boy” across it.
According to police, Deneshia Williams and her boyfriend Jontae Purdie, as well as an unknown man are the main suspects in the crime.
