2 Va. children found; Amber Alert canceled

WASHINGTON — Two Virginia children reported missing have been found safe and unharmed.

Five-year-old Dominique Eugene Jarvis and 1-year-old Messiah Khyon Jones-Jarvis were found early Saturday. Their alleged abductor Asia Dominique Jarvis, 24, is not in custody. She is the children’s birth mother.

The children were reported missing Friday and were last seen in the 1100 block of Carrington Crescent in Portsmouth, Virginia. Police issued an Amber Alert Friday and said that the children were in “extreme danger,” as Jarvis allegedly claimed that she would shoot the children if the father did not giver her money.
