Amber Alert Issued for Missing Baby in Tyler

Police officers are searching for 11-month-old Jamar Ross, who was reported missing after authorities attempted to take him into custody under an order from Child Protective Services (CPS) on Friday afternoon. The Tyler Police Department received a report from CPS stating that they were to assume custody of Jamar Ross from a residence in the 800 block of W. Mims St in Tyler. However, upon arrival, officers discovered that the child was not present and learned that he is likely with his mother, 26-year-old Tarhondia Jackson.

Both Jamar Ross and his mother have not been located at this time. In response to the situation, a Smith County judge has issued an Amber Alert for the child. The public is asked to contact the Tyler Police Department at 903-531-1000 or 9-1-1 if they have any information regarding Jamar Ross or Tarhondia Jackson.

Authorities are actively searching for Jamar Ross and working diligently to ensure his safe return. Updates on the search will be provided as new information becomes available.
