Overview

  • The Florida AMBER Alert for 17-year-old Caden Speight remains active after a reported shooting Thursday in the 12800 block of SW Highway 484 in Dunnellon.
  • Marion County deputies say evidence does not support initial reports that Speight was with four unidentified males in a light-colored van.
  • Detectives now believe Speight rode away on a black bicycle carrying a red and grey tent he bought at a Walmart on SW 19th Avenue Road in Ocala.
  • A witness told WESH they saw a young man matching the description retrieve items from a truck before riding by on a bicycle and that he did not appear injured.
  • Speight has not been located after checks of area hospitals; authorities consider him endangered and urge the public to call 911 or the Marion County Sheriff's Office rather than approach.
