An Amber Alert has been canceled after police located a suspect with a 1-year-old in Minnesota Thursday, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The alert originated from Texas and was issued by MSHP for a missing 1-year-old, who police believe may have been taken by the child’s mother who had lost custody of the child.

The alert was for a white 2007 GMC Yukon with the Texas license plate number: STM7097.

Noah Johnson, 1, was taken around 3 p.m. Feb. 6, last seen wearing a navy shirt and pants with a flower pattern, according to the alert. The child is a Black male with brown eyes and may have his hair braided in cornrows. He is 3 feet tall and weighs 26 pounds.

The state of Texas issued paperwork that removed custody from the mother, Kamilah Johnson, 38, who was last seen with the child, according to the alert. Kamilah is a Black female with black hair and brown eyes, 5-feet-4 inches tall and weighs about 170 pounds.

When the alert was issued, MSHP said Kamilah Johnson was last seen around 9:45 p.m. Feb. 26 at a Walmart on West 133rd Street in Kansas City. Police believe she is driving the white 2007 GMC Yukon.

According to the Amber Alert, the child had been in danger due to a serious health condition. On Feb. 29, police found Johnson and the child. The alert has been canceled.
