Authorities are issuing an Amber Alert after a child was abducted at gunpoint in Sioux Falls.
One-year-old Javion Bluebird was abducted Thursday night, according to Sioux Falls police. An Amber Alert was issued early Friday morning.
Police say two females entered a residence around 9:30 p.m., one of whom was armed with a handgun, and took Javion. Neither is the child's parent or legal guardian.
Javion is a one-year-old Native American male with black hair, brown eyes and weighing around 25 pounds. He was last seen wearing a gray nylon t-shirt, diaper and white socks.
Police identified the prime suspect as 29-year-old Lelana Sitting Up. She is a Native American woman, 5'3" tall, weighing about 120 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She has a tattoo of the words "No Excuses, No Regrets" on the right side of her neck. She was last seen wearing a black shirt and black sweatpants. Sitting Up is in a relationship with the child's non-custodial father, Jade White, according to police.
Sitting Up was accompanied by a 17-year-old female who authorities did not identify.
The suspects drove away from the home in an early 2000s white Chevrolet Impala. The only other identifying feature was "loud power steering."
Anyone with information about the child's whereabouts is asked to call 911.
