AMBER Alert issued for a seven-year-old boy reportedly abducted and last seen in Otero County

OTERO COUNTY, Colo. – A 7-year-old was reportedly kidnapped by a 26-year-old woman, and the two were last seen in Otero County after a shooting in Lakewood, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Lakewood Police Department.

A AMBER Alert went out on Monday shortly before 2 p.m

Around 6 a.m. Monday morning, Lakewood Police Department officers responded to an incident, possibly involving domestic violence, that had occurred along the 1700 block of Kendell Street in Lakewood, police spokesperson Lindsey Witzel said. When police arrived, they found one person with a gunshot wound.

That person was later identified as the 7-year-old’s father. CBI identified the boy as Uriah Saye Jr., but did not name the father.

Lakewood police have not identified the alleged shooter but say Crystal Denmon, 26, took Saye from the scene. It is not yet clear whether Denmon is the alleged shooter. She is not the boy’s biological mother, Witzel said.

Police said they believe Denmon and the gunshot victim know each other.

Denmon and Saye were last seen in Cheraw in Otero County — about eight miles north of La Junta — around 12:50 a.m. Monday in a white 2012 Ford Focus with a temporary Colorado license plate of 681-2186, CBI said.

Denmon is considered armed and dangerous, CBI said, warning anyone who sees her not to contact her.

Saye is described in the CBI alert as a black male, four feet tall and weighing 78 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes. Denmon is a black woman who stands 6 feet tall and weighs 130 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information on their whereabouts should call 911 or Lakewood police at 303-980-7300.
