3 siblings kidnapped from their home in Virginia Beach – in hospital after accident, one dead

UPDATE

According to the Virginia State Police, the 16-month-old daughter succumbed to her injuries after the car accident.

Plummer was arrested at the scene and charged with:

• Two cases of serious intentional bodily harm

• Three cases of child abduction
  Four cases of inducing minors to commit crimes

• Domestic violence

The condition of the other two children is said to be stable.

UPDATE

The three siblings who were taken from their home after their mother was allegedly stabbed were flown to the hospital following a rollover accident on the DC Beltway, an NBC affiliate station in Virginia Beach reports. The mother’s condition is currently unclear and our affiliate station reports that a child was also stabbed.

The crash occurred around 9:05 a.m. Thursday on the outer beltway of Interstate 495 at the Branch Avenue on-ramp, according to the county. VSP attempted to pull the driver over in Fairfax County on I-95 near the 166-mile marker; however, instead of stopping, the driver continued driving, leading troopers on a pursuit. He eventually lost control and crashed as he headed north onto the Beltway into Maryland.

This comes just hours after an Amber Alert was issued for 5-year-old Zayir Plummer, 7-year-old Zayin Plummer and 16-month-old Za’riyah Plummer, all of whom were last seen at Jay Are Court in Virginia Beach around 8:48 p.m. on August 14. The Amber Alert has since been lifted.

Virginia State Police said Zayir was last seen wearing gray pants and a black jacket, Zayin was wearing rust-colored pants and a light blue shirt, and Zariyah may have been wearing pink tights and a Trolls dress.

State police believe the children were abducted by 36-year-old Dana Demetrius Plummer, who is about 5’10” tall and weighs about 175 pounds. The agency did not say what he was wearing.
