An earlier report from St. Paul Police that a missing infant had been found has proved to be erroneous.

A statement from the St. Paul Police now says investigators have determined a man detained by Metro Transit Police in Minneapolis was not 21-year-old Jamal Jones and the infant with the man is not 7-month-old Chanelle Jones. The discovery has led to the re-issuance of a statewide alert seeking assistance in locating the missing baby.

Officials have said they believe the infant was taken by her father after Jamal Jones allegedly assaulted the baby's mother earlier today. Anyone with information is asked to contact the St. Paul Police Department.
