An AMBER Alert is out for 16-year-old Brennan Cervantes after he vanished from the area around Texas A&M University-San Antonio on Wednesday afternoon. He was last seen wearing a short-sleeve maroon shirt, black jeans and white-and-green Nike shoes, and he was carrying a backpack when he disappeared. He stands about 5 feet 6 inches tall and has brown hair and brown eyes.

According to the ksat.com, the Texas Department of Public Safety issued the alert for Cervantes, describing him as missing from San Antonio's South Side. The university itself told the station that Cervantes was last seen heading northbound on University Way and exited campus just after 2:40 p.m. Wednesday. The same report also notes a separate timestamp, saying Cervantes was last seen just before 3 p.m. Wednesday at One University Way, the address listed for Texas A&M University-San Antonio — a discrepancy in the exact minute that has not been resolved publicly.

A separate account from KABB places his last known location at One University Way at 2:49 p.m. Wednesday, adding another data point to the unsettled timeline of his final movements that afternoon.

University Asks Community to Help Search

Texas A&M University-San Antonio has publicly appealed to its campus community and the surrounding area for help finding the teen. The station's report quotes the university saying, “We are asking our community to please help us find Brennan, as his safety is our top priority.” That plea underscores how little has been confirmed so far about what happened after Cervantes left campus grounds.

Investigators have released a detailed physical description to aid the search. Per the same account, Cervantes is 5 feet 6 inches tall with brown eyes and brown hair, and he was last seen wearing his maroon shirt, black jeans and green-and-white Nikes while carrying his backpack. No further identifying details, photographs, or information about a possible vehicle or suspect have been made public.

How to Report a Sighting

Authorities are asking anyone with information on Cervantes’ whereabouts to act quickly. Anyone who sees him or has information about his location is urged to contact the Texas A&M University-San Antonio Police Department at 210-784-1900 or to call 911 immediately. No update on whether Cervantes has been located or whether the alert remains active was available at the time of publication.
