AMBER ALERT: Where is CORTEZ ROSE?

Police need your help in finding 5month old Cortez L. Rose who also goes by the name "Lil Pimp" according to his mother, 16 year old Makeela King. The mother went shopping and left the baby at her home in Madison, IL with 17 year old Danielle Medina who is suspected of kidnapping Cortez Rose.

Cortez is just 5 months and weighs 20 pounds and has birthmarks on his right arm near his shoulder and one on his right ankle. He was last seen on Saturday by the mother wearing a red shirt. The sitter, Medina who is suspected of having the baby had been rocking a orange & black weave, black leggings and long brown t-shirt when she was spotted on Sunday pushing Cortez in a brown stroller. The father, 19 year old Levelle Rose, of the baby is not suspected in the case and he is currently serving a 4 year sentence..and no it's not statutory rape. Medina also has a background who came to St. Louis just months ago after leaving New York where she served time for grand larceny and is still wanted by NY police on a child endangerment case. Medina may also be with her boyfriend and a 16year old female who is from Illinois.

While the people involved in the case may have many other issues it is still important that we take this very serious and help this young baby return home. We all know that this case won't get the attention of mainstream media and if it does they will forget soon like they often do our young black babies. Please pray for this family and if you or anyone you know has information about where 5month old Cortez Rose is you need to call the police at 618-876-4300.
