DETROIT - Detroit police were searching for a man who, they said, took his 4-month-old daughter after a shooting in the 11400 block of Lakepointe Street on the city's east side.

Police said 19-year-old Jeremy Phillips forced his way into a home, shot a relative four times and took the baby, A'mia Nevaeh Phillips. The relative, who is the mother's cousin, was trying to stop him from taking the girl. The child's mother was in the home at the time, too.

An Amber Alert was issued Wednesday night for A'mia. She is described as 1 foot 8 inches tall, 30 pounds with brown hair. Police said she was wearing a pink polka dot one-piece suit with "I love you mommy" on it.

Police said Phillips fled the home in a dark blue Jeep Cherokee last seen on Lakepointe Street.

Phillips was described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, 150 pounds with black eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing dark clothing.

The shooting victim was in critical condition Wednesday night.
