HOUSTON (KTRK) -- There are new developments in the Amber Alert case for a missing toddler who was in a car that was stolen at a Walmart store in southwest Houston yesterday.
HPD has set up a command post at the Walmart parking lot at 11200 S. Gessner. We've also learned that Texas Equusearch and the Laura Recovery Center have joined the search.
They are searching for 18-month-old Evan Montgomery Lamar Miller, who was kidnapped around 5:45pm from the parking lot of the Walmart store after his mother left him and a 7-year-old girl in a running vehicle while she ran inside. The 7-year-old girl was able to get out of the vehicle.
"The surveillance photos from the Walmart store depict the vehicle fleeing the scene, heading east out to South Gessner and turning north and fleeing on South Gessner," said Detective Mike Burrow with the Houston Police Department. "We also have on the surveillance video several possible witnesses that were no longer at the scene when we arrived. We are trying to locate those witnesses. There were two females that were coming out of the store, one of whom, who appeared to be struck by the Jeep as it left the parking lot. There is also a possible good Samaritan that appeared to be a black male in a hooded sweatshirt that was in the parking lot, possibly tried to stop the vehicle as it was leaving. He was no longer here and we need him to come forward."
Authorities gave a description of the suspect as a middle aged black male, late 30s early 40s, clean shaven face, approximately 6-foot-1, 180 to 210 pounds. He was dressed in a black leather jacket, blue jeans with black driver's hat. It's unknown if he arrived at the store on foot or in another vehicle.
