The California Highway Patrol on Wednesday deactivated an Amber Alert that had been issued an hour earlier for a missing 14-year-old girl who was allegedly abducted in Inglewood.
“The subject has been located,” the CHP said in an update on X shortly after 5:30 p.m. No other details were immediately released.
The alert was initially sent out before 4:30 p.m. in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties.
The victim, Nevaeh Holden, had last been seen about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday in the area of 97th and Flower streets in Inglewood, according to the CHP. She was wearing a black shirt, black leggings, black Croc sandals and a pink headwrap.
The suspect being sought in the abduction was identified as 59-year-old Edward Mason. He was described as 6 feet, 2 inches tall, weighing about 220 pounds, with black-and-gray hair and brown eyes.
Whether he was in custody when the Amber Alert was canceled was unclear.
Along with photos of the girl and the suspect, the Highway Patrol released an image of a vehicle connected to the case: a black 2013 Dodge Caravan SUV with California license plate No. 6ZMY987.
