An amber alert was issued in Florida over missing teen Caden Speight who was last seen at a place where a shooting reportedly took place. Amber alerts, which were first used in 1996, are issued when authorities believe a child aged 17 or younger may have been abducted and is in danger.

Speight, described as 6 feet tall and 150 pounds with brown hair and eyes, was last seen in the 12800 block of SW Highway 84 in Dunnellon. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and an unknown colored t-shirt.

However, they said they did not find Speight.

According to Fox News, investigators believe Speight may be with four unknown men in a van.
