Amber Alert issued for 8-month-old child in Anchorage
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - An infant for whom an Amber Alert was issued on Friday has been located safe following an hours-long standoff with Anchorage police.
The 8-month-old child has been identified as Ahmiri Chaney, and the reported suspect in the kidnapping is 23-year-old Eric Chaney Jr., who is the child’s father. Anchorage police were called to a residence in the area of East 12th Avenue and Norman Street at 8:57 a.m. on Friday regarding a homicide. Inside the residence, they found a woman dead with trauma to her upper body, according to a news release from Anchorage police.
Later Friday evening, APD special operations teams are near 6000 More Lane due to a barricaded suspect. Police units that responded to the scene included the Special Weapons and Tactics Unit , Crisis Negotiation Team, and Tactical Support Unit. More Lane at East 22nd Avenue is closed, and police are urging residents to avoid the area. Officers may be asking some residents to evacuate, and those with respiratory issues should close their windows and doors.
“The most important piece is just finding the child and making sure he’s safe,” APD Community Relations Director Sunny Guerin said in an interview.“When Amber Alerts are sent, APD sends a request. We don’t actually send the Amber Alerts, and so when we do request it, we are exhausting all leads, all efforts to locate the child and then when those efforts are exhausted, then we move forward with publishing Amber Alerts and more in requesting public’s help and locating the child,” Guerin said.
