The Phenix City Police Department released this statement on their Facebook Page:
“The Phenix City Police Department Criminal Investigations Division needs the public’s assistance in locating Ethan Alexander Boyt. He is wanted for shooting into an occupied dwelling and shooting into an unoccupied vehicle (felony charges). This incident occurred on Dolphin Dr. in Phenix City, Al. on June 24, 2022. He was last seen on that date. If you have any information on the whereabouts of Ethan Boyt please contact the Phenix City Police Department at (334) 298-0611 or by calling 911. It is unknown if Boyt is currently armed so use caution and do not approach.”
Ethan’s family and friends have also asked for the public’s help and sent the EAN a graphic and information about their concerns:
In a release, it states, “According to investigators, Ethan was under the influence of an unknown substance and fired a neighbor’s gun which struck a vehicle and a residence. The activity was evidenced by a surveillance camera while the police were still on scene. For unknown reasons, they did not arrest him. Also, according to one of the officers on scene, Ethan was threatening suicide. Phenix City Police proceeded to leave Ethan by himself in his apartment. He hasn’t been seen by anyone since. Ethan’s family is very worried bout his well-being and have filed a missing person’s report.”
The release continues, “No matter the issue, Ethan and his mother, who lives out of town, never go more than a couple of days without talking. Alarmingly, his cell phone and wallet were left behind in his apartment.”
Family and Friends were scheduled to meet earlier today at 12 B Dolphin Drive, Phenix City, AL to conduct a search of the area.
If you have any information about Ethan’s location, you can contact the Phenix City Police Department or call 911.
