Man accused of crimes that culminated in Amber Alert, waives right to preliminary hearing
Jumal Lipscomb
MILWAUKEE -- 32-year-old Jumal Lipscomb waived his right to a preliminary hearing on Monday, November 30th. Lipscomb faces the following charges:
The criminal complaint filed in this case indicates officials in Illinois had Lipscomb in custody on Friday, November 13th for a drunk driving offense. Officials say Lipscomb presented a suicide risk, so it was arranged for him to be transported to a mental health facility.
On the way to that facility, officials say Lipscomb attacked transport personnel — and he was able to escape.
Two days later, on Sunday, November 15th around 5:30 a.m., Lipscomb is accused of attacking his 77-year-old father with a screwdriver at a home near 55th and Villard. This, after Lipscomb’s father informed his son that the authorities were looking for him.
The complaint indicates Lipscomb’s father was stabbed multiple times — including four blows to the chest, two to the face and two to the top of his head.
One of Lipscomb’s children intervened and got Lipscomb off of his father, according to the complaint. Lipscomb then fled the scene in a vehicle.
Suddenly, a man approached, threw the woman to the ground, demanded her SUV and got into that SUV. This, as the woman pleaded with the man not to take her child.Shortly before 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, a woman was getting out of her red Volvo SUV, to visit someone at St. Joseph Hospital. That woman’s three-year-old daughter, Aubri Degeffered was inside that SUV, which had just been parked near 45th and Chambers.

The complaint indicates the man just smiled at the woman — and took off in the SUV, with Aubri Degeffered inside.
The woman was able to identify the man via a photo lineup. She identified the suspect as Lipscomb.
Shortly after 7:30 p.m., a man was pumping gas at a gas station in Brookfield when suddenly, a man exited a red Volvo SUV and proceeded to punch the man, before getting into the man’s vehicle and trying to get away.
A struggle ensued, and the man ended up crashing the car in the gas station lot.
The vehicle stalled, and the suspect got back into the red Volvo SUV and drove away.
Later, a guest at a motel in Lake Mills in Jefferson County, who was aware of the Amber Alert issued for Aubri Degeffered, noticed the red Volvo SUV in the motel’s lot. He then contacted authorities.
Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the motel and caught Jumal Lipscomb as he was walking out of the motel and towards the SUV.
They found Aubri Degeffered in a room at the motel, and some items belonging to the man who was pumping gas at that Brookfield gas station inside the red Volvo.
Lipscomb is set to enter pleas to the charges he faces on December 18th.
