The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office said Monday night it has located Branson Lewis, bringing a region-wide Peak Alerts missing-person notice to a close. The agency’s brief update thanked the public for its help and did not share any details about Lewis’s condition or where he was found.
The update went out on X, where the sheriff’s office confirmed Lewis had been found and again thanked the community for tips. The post stayed tight on details, offering no further information in that short message.
What Peak Alerts Do
Peak Alerts is the emergency-notification system used in El Paso and Teller counties to send geographically targeted, life-safety messages, including missing-person advisories and evacuation orders, according to the El Paso-Teller County 9-1-1 Authority. The authority notes the system runs on Everbridge and allows residents to register addresses and choose how they want to receive alerts.
