2-year-old girl abducted from apartment during home invasion found safe: CPD

CHICAGO — A 2-year-old girl who was abducted from an apartment during a home invasion on the city’s South Side has been safely located, according to Chicago police.

At around 4:50 a.m. Wednesday, police said three armed offenders, including a woman known to the family, broke into an apartment on the 4800 block of South Michigan Avenue.

The offenders, the woman and two men, abducted a 2-year-old girl, identified as Attumn Shelley, before stealing a vehicle, among other property, from the apartment, according to investigators.

The offenders then fled the scene with the child in the grandmother’s grey 2021 Nissan Kicks with Illinois license plate ER12467.

The Illinois State Police later issued an Endangered Missing Person advisory for Attumn.

The grandmother of the toddler told WGN News that five suspects, including the girl’s mother, allegedly broke into her home. She said they were all wearing masks, but she recognized one of them.

“They put a gun to my sister and brother’s head, about four guys and the mother of the child. And they basically just came in and took her,” said the grandmother, who wants to remain anonymous.

The grandmother said the 2-year-old’s mother, identified by authorities as 22-year-old Angelique Mobley, suffers from mental illness, and her biggest fear was that Mobley would hurt her granddaughter.

Police said Mobley stands 5 feet, 1 inch tall and weighs 121 pounds. She was last seen wearing a black shirt and black pants.

It is unclear if Mobley or any of the other suspects are in custody at this time.

The grandmother added that intruders tried unsuccessfully to kidnap her nine-year-old daughter.
