A 17-year-old San Antonio boy who told someone he was simply going for a walk hasn’t been seen since he left his home on the 12700 block of Clearwater Cove Monday evening. Amire Eugene Teele was last seen at 6 p.m. Monday, and his disappearance wasn’t reported to authorities until nearly 27 hours later, at 9:20 p.m. Tuesday.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office issued a public appeal early Wednesday asking for help locating Teele, according to a Bexar County Sheriff’s Office Facebook post. Deputies describe Teele as a Black male standing 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black shirt with a white graphic design over a white undershirt, paired with black baggy pants. Anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 210-335-6000 or email the BCSO Missing Persons Unit at [email protected].

Clearwater Cove sits inside the Talise De Culebra residential development in the 78254 ZIP code, a rapidly expanding subdivision along Culebra Road outside Loop 1604 on San Antonio’s Far West Side, according to Redfin listings for the area. The stretch of far West Bexar County has produced a string of missing juvenile reports in recent weeks, and Teele’s case is the latest to emerge from those sprawling suburban streets.

Deputies have leaned heavily on social media bulletins to reach residents scattered across these newer subdivisions.
Why Teele’s Case Won’t Trigger a Statewide Alert
Because there’s no disclosed evidence that Teele was abducted or is in immediate danger, his case doesn’t qualify for a statewide AMBER Alert, and CLEAR Alerts are legally restricted to adults between 18 and 64, according to the San Antonio Express-News. That leaves local media advisories and social bulletins like the one BCSO posted as the primary way to reach the public about a missing 17-year-old…
