CLEVELAND — Police have found two abducted children. Armani and Anija Kelley are safe and their mother is in custody. Investigators suspect the children's mother of shooting and killing their father before abducting the children.

An Amber Alert was issued early Monday morning for Armani, 8, and Anija, 4. Cleveland Police said the children and mother were both found before 10 a.m. on Lorain Avenue.

On Monday night, police were called to a home on Alahambra for reports of gunshots. When officers arrived they found Richard Kelley, 30, inside the house. He had been shot multiple times and was declared dead on the scene, Cleveland Police said.

Investigators learned that there had been an argument between Bryant and Kelley. The dispute escalated until Bryant allegedly shot and killed Kelley. She then got in a car and left with their two children, Armani and Anijah.
