CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department issued an Amber Alert for a mother and five children early Saturday morning. Police have since said they were located in Florida and in good health.
Police were looking for 32-year-old Joreka Izquierdo and five siblings, 14-year-old Uriel Baylor, 14-year-old Darnell Carden, 3-year-old King Carden, 3-year-old Queen Carden, and 2-year-old Pharoah Carden.
A family member contacted CMPD to report concerns. Izquierdo was believed to be in possession of the children, suffers from mental health issues, and the children were thought to be in danger. Izquierdo has made statements that indicate she may be headed to Miami, Florida.
Izquierdo is known to drive a dark blue 2011 Audi Q7 with the tag NC A861SP. Police said it is possible the tag may also be removed at this time.
Anyone who sees or has information about the whereabouts of Izquierdo, or her children, is asked to call 9-1-1 immediately.
