Seven-Year-Old Kidnapped in Milwaukee Abduction Caught on Video

A disturbing video captures the moment a seven-year-old boy was forcibly taken at gunpoint in Milwaukee. The incident occurred near his home when two suspects in a white Jeep Renegade blocked his family’s driveway. The suspects exited the vehicle—one wielding a gun and chasing Jamal White’s father—before grabbing Jamal and dragging him into the car.

The abduction led to a statewide Amber Alert, initiating a search that lasted nearly 24 hours. Police eventually found Jamal safe at a residence about seven miles from the scene. He was discovered unharmed in a bedroom, and his family expressed relief but continued concern over the event’s traumatic nature.

In connection with the kidnapping, authorities arrested 25-year-old Corey Gabriel Williams, charging him with kidnapping, taking hostages, and contributing to the delinquency of a child. An unidentified teenager was also detained. According to criminal reports, the suspects initially planned to rob Jamal’s mother, believing she possessed a significant sum of money. When she was not home, they targeted Jamal’s father outside with firearms, forcing him to surrender his son and fleeing with him.

The suspects contacted Jamal’s mother, demanding $100,000 and jewelry for his safe return. She arranged a meeting that never materialized. Jamal’s account revealed he overheard the suspects speaking to his mother on the phone, promising he would be returned, but she did not show up.

To evade detection, Williams and another individual left Jamal with the teenager, who then fled the scene. During the search, Williams fired shots at bystanders, hitting an unoccupied house and a tree, and now faces additional felony charges for reckless endangerment. He later admitted to hiding a firearm near the scene.

The boy was recovered later that evening, and while he remains in the custody of Child Protective Services, his family hopes for a reunion. Meanwhile, questions and allegations swirl online, with some social media users suggesting the kidnapping was staged for financial gain—claims that Jamal’s family has vehemently denied.
