For Barb Gusse, a Brooklyn Center grandmother, it was just another chilly February afternoon. But she braved the cold to do something she loves.
“I was out feeding my birds, because it s so cold,” she said. “You know you have to keep them fed, you know.”
That’s when she glanced across the street to the car lot outside Cross of Glory Lutheran Church, where she saw a white Jeep Grand Cherokee, its engine running.
It sat there for 20 minutes, but Gusse says she couldn’t tell if anyone was inside.
Then an Amber Alert went off on her phone detailing how a Jeep was stolen from Humboldt Avenue in north Minneapolis around 12:17 p.m. and that 1-year-old Da’Merion White was in the back seat.
Rochester, Roseville departments caution about sudden spike in deaths.

The pills are shaped and imprinted like oxycodone (pictured) but may be fentanyl – a highly potent and often deadly drug – in disguise.
At least two Minnesota police departments are warning about a deadly fentanyl opioid, possibly disguised as oxycodone pills, that have killed four people.
On Friday, Feb. 5, Rochester police issued a warning after two men, an 18-year-old and a 22-year-old, died from apparent drug overdoses. Roseville posted a similar warning Saturday after a 16-year-old and a 20-year-old died.
Rochester police said the pills are shaped and imprinted like oxycodone but may contain fentanyl. Roseville police said the sudden spike could be attributed to a pill known as “Perc 30,” a potent narcotic mixed with fentanyl.
UPDATED! The child has been found safe in Brooklyn Center. Waiting for details.
