Latest News About Amber Alert Hammond Indiana

Here’s the latest I could verify about the Amber Alert in Hammond, Indiana, based on recent reports:

• A statewide AMBER Alert was issued for a missing six-month-old girl from Hammond, with authorities describing the child as in extreme danger. The alert was requested by the Hammond Police Department around 7:30 a.m. local time on May 21, 2026. The child is Devaeyah Lucas-Bell, approximately 22 inches tall and 16 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, last seen in Hammond wearing a white shirt and brown pants. The suspect associated with the case is Deandry Sabbs, described as a 31-year-old Black male, about 6'2" tall and 208 pounds, possibly traveling in a gray four-door Nissan sedan with Illinois plates. Authorities urged anyone who sees the child, the suspect, or the vehicle to call 911. This alert marks a coordinated statewide effort to locate the child.[1][2]

• Local coverage from Chicago-area outlets echoed the same details, noting the child’s age, appearance, last known location, and the vehicle description, and reiterating the urgency and the statewide nature of the alert.[2][6]

• There is older, unrelated Amber Alert history for Hammond in 2016 involving a mother and infant found safe in Calumet City, Illinois, which is sometimes referenced in nearby coverage but does not reflect the current case.[3][4]

If you need, I can monitor updates and share any new confirmed developments, including any resolution or containment of the alert. I can also summarize official guidance on what to do if you spot the child or the suspect. Would you like me to set up ongoing updates or pull the latest statements from Indiana or Hammond police?
