An 11-year-old boy, a 58-year-old man and a white Ford pickup truck were the subjects of a Miami police missing person’s alert.

Police on Saturday night said the possible parental abduction involves Jameson Denis-Bey, 11, last seen in the 300 block of Northwest Eighth Street, where father Claxton Copeland EL Jr. lives in an apartment.

In April, Copeland was arrested on charges of domestic violence battery and false imprisonment. The case ended in no action when the state attorney’s office decided against filing formal charges.
