Memphis kidnapping suspect still on the run after allegedly abducting mother, baby from Target

Memphis police arrested Will Hayes in the Target abduction and robbery but are still searching for a second suspect

One of two suspects accused of kidnapping, robbing and releasing a mother and her 1-year-old baby outside a Target in Memphis, Tennessee, last week is still on the run.

Authorities arrested and charged the other suspect, Will Hayes, with two counts of aggravated kidnapping, two counts of aggravated burglary and one count of firearm possession during a dangerous felony.

"The second suspect is still unidentified. This is an ongoing investigation," the Memphis Police Department (MPD) said in a Tuesday Facebook post.

The victim was putting groceries into her vehicle outside a Target store on Aug. 31 with her 1-year-old child when the two male suspects approached them while displaying a handgun, according to police.

The suspects then "forced the victim and her child into the suspect's vehicle," drove them to a bank and "forced the victim to withdraw $800.00 from the ATM." The suspects released the mother and child after she complied with their demands, according to police.
