A statewide Amber Alert was issued for a 6-month-old girl from Hammond, Indiana, on May 21, 2026. The infant, Devaeyah Lucas-Bell, was last seen in Hammond around 4:20 a.m. that morning and was described as in extreme danger. The suspected vehicle was a gray Nissan sedan, with Illinois plates not yet confirmed. Authorities urged the public to call 911 if they had information.[1][2][7]

Local outlets reported that the child and a potential suspect were being sought nationwide, with law enforcement coordinating across agencies in Indiana and Illinois. Public notices emphasized contacting authorities rather than approaching the vehicle if seen.[2][1]
