According to Holly McPherson with the Newport News Police Department, Destiny Dominique Wilkinson was reported missing shortly before 9 a.m. by her adoptive parents and had not been seen since 10 p.m. Monday evening.

Wilkinson was located at a Walgreens on the corner of Denbigh Boulevard and Warwick Boulevard at approximately 9 p.m., according to McPherson. A citizen had spotted the child and contacted police.
