DECATUR, Ga. — A baby, reported missing after her mother was found murdered, was found safe and sound Wednesday afternoon.
Authorities located Precious Diamond Spencer at the home of a friend in on Daisy Drive in Decatur.
Alicia Spencer was friends with the woman who lives in that home, and sometimes, left the baby in care of that family. That is what she did Sunday, and then Monday, Alicia Spencer was found shot to death in southeast Atlanta. Police feared whoever killed Alicia, might have had the baby.
Precious was safe in the arms of her grandmother and aunt on Wednesday afternoon, two days after her mother was found in a vacant building on Sims Street in southeast Atlanta.
“The mother of the child is deceased, right now,” according to Atlanta Police Officer James Polite at an earlier news conference, announcing the search for the child. “A vehicle was just found at an unknown location, and the child is missing. We’re very, very concerned about this child.”
The 24-year-old mother was last seen over the weekend. On Wednesday, police found her Honda Accord abandoned on Glenwood Avenue, but with no sign of Precious until mid-afternoon. It turned out the baby was right where Alicia left her Sunday at a friend’s house in Decatur
