According to flyers posted on the missing Hispanic teen, he was last seen in the Tuscany Hills area around 4 p.m. Sunday wearing gray shorts, a dark gray T-shirt, and a navy blue Lake Elsinore Little League All Star jacket with gold lettering. He was also wearing a diamond-like earring in each ear and white sunglasses.

He is described as having a thin build, weighing between 110 and 140 pounds, with a height of between 5’5” and 5’8”, according to the two separate flyers. He has an olive complexion, and short/medium black hair that he wears spiked or brushed straight forward, a flyer states.

Antone and his family moved away from Lake Elsinore several months ago, according to one of the flyers.

“They were in town for a visit and went to a friend’s house,” the flyer continues. When it was time to pick Anton up he was gone, but his cell phone and iPad were found, a flyer states.

Calls to two separate family members were not immediately returned.
