ORIGINAL STORY: A person was shot and a child is missing after a reported domestic disturbance at the Regency Place apartments on 2820 South Decatur Boulevard near Sahara Avenue.
26-year-old Amir Abdul-Rahim reportedly arrived at the apartment just before 10 p.m. where his 2-year-old son Kuwait lives with his mother. The father demanded to see his son and the situation escalated when a neighbor attempted to intervene.
That neighbor was shot multiple times by Amir but thankfully doctors say that he is expected to live.
Amir then fled the scene with the child in a dark-colored SUV, possibly a Jeep Patriot.
If you have any information about the whereabouts of Amir Abdul-Rahim please call Crime Stoppers.
