An Amber alert has been issued for a missing Siler City boy whom authorities think is in danger.

The alert was issued early this morning for 8-year-old Jose Angel Fitzpatrick, who four feet tall and 80 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes.

Julia Jarema of the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety says authorities think Jose is with his father, Kenneth Paul Fitzpatrick.

Both father and son are Hispanic males.

Jarema says no vehicle is involved, so the alert doesn’t include a vehicle description. She says authorities think the child is in “imminent danger.”
