VALLEJO (CBS13) — CHP has issued an Amber Alert in connection with the abduction of a Vallejo teen.
Solano County Sheriff's investigators are looking for a teenager seen yelling for help as a man pulled her away. Pearl Pinson, 15, was last seen on Wednesday morning at the I-780 pedestrian overcrossing in Vallejo with blood on her face.
Witnesses identified Fernando Castro, 19, as the one pulling her while he held a gun. He's being called a person of interest as police look for help finding them both.
Pinson was last seen wearing a gray sweater, black leggings and a black and turquoise backpack. Castro was wearing a black hoodie and glasses when he was last seen.
The vehicle they're traveling in is described as a 1997, gold four-door Saturn sedan with California license plate 5XZD385.
Deputies do not believe that Pinson was a stranger to Castro, and that she was taken against her will.
