Relief in North Side Milwaukee (53206): Missing 7-Year-Old Jamal White Found Safe After Armed Abduction – LIVE UPDATES

North Side Milwaukee (53206)— A wave of relief and gratitude swept through Milwaukee on Monday evening after 7-year-old Jamal White, who was allegedly abducted at gunpoint Sunday night, was found safe less than 24 hours later. The dramatic recovery followed a statewide Amber Alert that mobilized local police, state troopers, and community volunteers across southeastern Wisconsin. Jamal was located just before 5:30 p.m. Monday in a residence on the city’s north side after a tip from a concerned neighbor led police to the location. One suspect is in custody, while a second remains at large.

Jamal was abducted around 6:15 p.m. Sunday near North Teutonia Avenue and West Center Street, where witnesses say a man pulled up in a gray Dodge Charger, brandished a weapon, and forced the boy into the vehicle. Police later confirmed the suspect is believed to be connected to a prior domestic incident involving the boy’s family.

Jamal was evaluated at Children’s Wisconsin Hospital and is reported to be in good health. Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman praised the “swift coordination and community vigilance” that led to Jamal’s safe return.
