The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office issued an alert earlier this day that 15-year-old Nicholas Amorim-Werner was missing and potentially in danger, asking for the public's assistance in locating him. According to the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, Nicholas was last observed around 7 p.m. wearing a gray shirt on Sentosa Dr. near Beachwalk, which sparked concerns for his well-being.

In an update that offered a sigh of relief to the community and particularly to those close to the youth, the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office shared on their Facebook page at 8:25pm: "Nicholas has been located safe." This announcement concluded a short but intense search that had local authorities canvassing the area, and it, surely, brought great peace of mind to his family and friends who had feared for the worst when Nicholas was first reported missing.

The details of Nicholas's disappearance haven't been shared, but the important thing is that he's safe. The primary goal of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office efforts was achieved, and for a brief moment, the community's worry was relieved with the message: "Nicholas has been located safe."
