Police are looking for a Virginia toddler they say was taken from his home by three men.

An Amber Alert has been issued this morning for 2-year-old Aveion Malik Lewis.

Police say the men knocked the toddler's stepfather unconscious and took the child late Thursday afternoon from his home in Roanoke. They left a note asking for money.

The men may be traveling in a white 1990s Chevrolet Blazer.

The missing boy is described as African-American with close-cut black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing yellow SpongeBob Squarepants footie pajamas.

Police say the three suspects are African-American men who appear to be in their 20s.
