He was last seen wearing a green shirt with the words 'Tommy Jeans' written in blue and white letters, black pants and black shoes. He also has multiple neck tattoos, police said.
The police department said that the teen is a Hispanic male, about 5-feet, 7-inches tall, weighing 150 pounds with brown shaggy/curly hair. The agency said he is missing a shoe, 'and should still be handcuffed.'
At 3:20 p.m., police provided further information about the incident and said the teen had not yet been located, but that the drone team was assisting in the search. A CodeRED reverse 911 was issued to the nearby area requesting a shelter in place, but it was intended to be a 'be on the lookout and call 911 if you see anything suspicious,' not a shelter in place.
An Aurora police spokesperson said officers initially contacted the teen at around 10 a.m. in reference to a stolen vehicle, and he had outstanding warrants for motor vehicle theft and eluding.
Police said anyone who sees anything suspicious or the teen should call 911 or 303-627-3100.
