10-Year-Old Boy Missing After Being Taken At Gunpoint In Home Invasion

Dallas Police Department

A 10-year-old boy remained missing Monday night after being taken from his family's Dallas, Texas, home during an armed robbery.

The Dallas Police Department issued an Amber Alert for Nicholas Fierros, who was taken at gunpoint from a family member's home around 12:30 p.m. Police described the investigation as "active and fluid," adding that it was unclear if the boy's family had been targeted or the kidnapping was random.

"At this point, we can't tell," Deputy Police Chief Malik Aziz told reporters.

Nicholas was described as 4 feet, 9 inches tall, 60 pounds, and was wearing an orange shirt and white or khaki shorts, police said. The boy was not wearing shoes.

According to police, three men dressed entirely in black stormed into the home with guns and demanded money. They restrained a woman — Nicholas' aunt — while his 14-year-old and 6-year-old cousins hid and called 911, the Dallas Morning News reported.

The men then fled with Nicholas, who another family member told WFAA was bound with duct tape.

Police asked anyone who had seen the boy to call 911.
