Texas Amber Alert for Missing Dallas Boy Canceled
Police said four-year-old Luciano Gallegos has been recovered after an Amber Alert was issued for his disappearance in Dallas, Texas, early on Tuesday morning. No further details were given. Newsweek has contacted the Dallas Police Department's public information office for more information. The original Amber Alert said Gallegos was taken by a 21-year-old man named Louis Ricker on Monday, June 9, and was last seen at 2900 Block of South Walton Walker Boulevard in Dallas, traveling southbound at around 11:30 p.m. in a White Mitsubishi Outlander. The Amber Alert system is used widely throughout the U.S., with 82 plans in place to help recover children after they have been determined missing, enabling some missing child reports to be resolved. The alerts can be issued on a state-wide or local scale and more than one child can be involved in the case. The system, which stands for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response, dates back to 1996 when Dallas-Fort Worth broadcasters worked with the local police to develop a warning system to find abducted children, and later other states and communities soon set up their own plans. These alerts are broadcast through radio, TV, road signs, cellphones, and other data-enabled devices. The Amber Alert system is used in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Indian country, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and 27 other countries. By the end of 2024, 1,268 children had been recovered due to the activation of an Amber Alert, according to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, which helps to distribute alerts to the public.
