SCOTTSDALE, AZ — A Scottsdale teen who was reported missing Thursday afternoon in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve has been found alive.
Roman Reid, 14, was located Friday morning, according to Scottsdale authorities.
The teen was reportedly located in the Fountain Hills area of the preserve and is said to be OK.
Hear from fire department officials providing an update on the teen's condition:
Reid was last seen on Thursday around 12:30 p.m. in the area of 128th Street and Cactus Road.
It was believed he walked from his home and into the McDowell Sonoran Preserve.
