Amber Alert: 2-year-old Aveion Malik Lewis still missing (video)
Aveion Malik Lewis is the subject of a Virginia Amber Alert. He disappeared on January 15, 2010 after three men broke into the family home, tied up a four-year-old girl, and knocked his step-father unconscious. Now, a desperate search is underway to find two-year-old Aveion. He is entering the fourth day of his disappearance and police are being tight lipped regarding conditions in the family’s home life.
Brandon Lockett, Aveion’s stepfather spoke to media and described what happened. “I heard a knock at the door, I went to the back door and all I remember was boom. That`s all I remember. When I came -- when I came to, my wife was standing over me, and my son was crying, and my daughter, she was gagged, upstairs in her room, and that`s all I remember.”
Brandon Lockett also states that Aveion was born with a health condition, intestinal malrotation, that will impact his need for care. Brandon Lockett also addressed Aveion’s condition when speaking to media. “He has malrotation, meaning he can eat, but -- he can eat, but his body won`t absorb the fats that it needs, so it doesn`t have the enzymes that it needs. So I mean, he has medical problems. I mean, if you`ve got him, make sure you keep him warm.”
Lockett also told reporters what he remembers from the morning of January 15, 2010, the day that Aveion was abducted, “I seen some guys earlier that morning, but as far as right then when it happened, I don`t recall no faces. I just remember black, seeing just black. That`s all I remember. But I remember some guys I had seen earlier that morning on the side of my house, and also I seen some guys over here in the Food Lion parking lot. They were standing right out here in the Food Lion`s parking lot. And I remember those guys, but other than that, I don`t recall anything else.”
Now, police state that they have surveillance video that they are studying for clues in the case. There are three organizations currently searching for Aveion and handling the case. They are the FBI, the Virginia State Police, and the Roanoke Police.
There are currently no photos available of the three suspects. The first suspect’s first name is believed to be ‘Tony.’ He is described as a black male standing 6’2”. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie shirt, a black puffy collar jacket, and a black du rag. He is described as having a dark, black complexion, full beard and a stocky build and is believed to be in his late twenties. It is unclear whether the suspects are armed.
The second suspect is a light-skinned black male described as standing 5’11”. His hair is in dreadlocks and he was last seen wearing a red baseball cap. He is in his late twenties and is said to have a muscular upper body.
The third suspect is a light-skinned black male who stands 5’11” and has no facial hair. He was wearing a brown hat with white writing on it and is said to be either 23 or 24 years old.
Reports say that the suspects were seen hanging around the residence after the stepfather told them to leave. A note was left at the residence demanding money.
The suspects may be travelling with Aveion Lewis in a white 90’s Blazer Chevy.
