Search for missing South Carolina teen who hasn’t been seen in more than a week
A search is underway for a missing Midlands teenager.
Quentin Ashby was publicly reported by the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office Wednesday. The 15-year-old has not been seen for more than a week, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
Quentin was last seen Oct. 29, when he was leaving his Skimmer Court home in the Eutawville area, according to the release.
There was no word if Quentin was considered a runaway, or if he was alone when he was last seen. The sheriff’s office did not say if foul play was suspected in Quentin’s disappearance.
Quentin might have ties in the Columbia area, according to the release.
The sheriff’s office described Quentin as a 5-foot-7, 190-pound young man, and said he was last seen wearing a gray hoodie and black jeans.
“We need to locate this young man and get him home,” Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said. “If you have any idea where he is, please call us.”
Anyone who has seen Quentin, or has information about him, is asked to call the Orangeburg County Communications Center at 803-534-3550, CrimeStoppers at 888-CRIME-SC or submit an online tip.
In case of an emergency, always call 911.
