Update at 5 p.m. Wednesday: Shea Ramsey was found about an hour the California Highway Patrol issued an Amber Alert in the Crescent City area on Wednesday. The 12-year-old boy is back home with his parents, Del Norte County Sheriff Garrett Scott confirmed. Scott credited the alert as well as new technology that allowed the sheriff's office to put out a notice that Shea was missing so quickly. "We appreciate all the public support — the people that reached out and gave us information, it's amazing," he said. "This is why we were able to find him, it was somebody that got that alert and they called us." #### Original Post: California Highway Patrol issued a localized Amber Alert in response to a 12-year-old boy that went missing from his parents’ Crescent City home Tuesday evening. Shea Ramsey was last seen at about 9 p.m., according to the alert CHP issued on behalf of the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office. The boy’s parents reported him missing at about noon Wednesday, saying that he had walked away from the family home after a disagreement, DNSO Capt. Melanie Curry told Redwood Voice Community News. Shea is about 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighs roughly 90 pounds. He has blond hair and green eyes and was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt, black pants and black shoes. The Amber Alert went to phones within a five mile radius of the Shea’s residence, which is near Crescent Elk Middle School, Curry said. If anyone sees him, they can call dispatch at (707) 464-4191 or they can contact 911. Any law enforcement agency will respond and make sure Shea is returned to his family, Curry said.
