UPDATE: Mother and child found safe, man turns himself in

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) – Shortly after the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office released a photo of the man who may be holding a woman and her child against their will , the mother and child were found safe.

The Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office also said Dwight Powell turned himself in for questioning.

Brunswick County investigators say Shayla Da’nia Bryant, 21, was last seen by her mother and grandfather on Cedar Grove Road near the intersection of Stone Chimney Road Saturday. They say she may also be with her 1-year-old son, Alijah Powell.

Yesterday, deputies located the Honda Pilot which was thought to be driven by Bryant or Powell, who is wanted for questioning in a recent shooting.  She says the vehicle was found close to where Shayla and her one year old son Alijah were last seen following the shooting.

We’ll have more details as they become available.
