Missouri Amber Alert for Brajaean Sledge
Brajaean Sledge is the victim, described as 5-foot-8, weighing 125 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Police now say she was last seen wearing a white V-neck T-shirt and dark pants and her hair is black and blonde.

Police located the suspect vehicle Friday around 8 a.m. near Bennington Avenue & Blue Ridge Boulevard, but Brajaean  is still missing. Police said the vehicle was abandoned on the side of the street.

"Detectives are actively canvassing for witnesses and Crime Scene personnel are processing the vehicle for any evidence," police said. "We still believe Brajaean is in danger and the suspect should be considered armed and dangerous."

Thursday afternoon, Kansas City police responded to the area of 27th Street and Elmwood for a shooting. Police said the girl's grandfather was injured in the shooting and taken to the hospital in critical condition.

The man told police he didn't know the suspect who stormed into his home and shot him. After the shooting, the suspect abducted Brajaean in the grandfather's vehicle, the Kia Forte previously mentioned.

Officers determined the 15-year-old is in danger as a result of the shooting.

The suspect, who may be with the girl, should be considered armed and dangerous. He is described as a black male between the ages of 18-20 years old. Police haven't given a further description.

Anyone who sees the suspect or victim should call 911 immediately.
