the woods late this afternoon. they've been looking and investigating since saturday. the information they developed only created more concern, that's why sunday evening they reclassified him as both missing and endangered. >> suffice it to say, that we have acknowledged that we believe its gang related. and again it's so out of his character to just go missing and not let his family know where he is or what he's doing. so given the totality of the circumstances, we're very concerned for his well being. >> that concern driven in part by this spike in gang violence in the past few years that's led to the deaths of several teens, including a 15-year-old girl. these two boys also missing and endangered, they haven't been seen since last fall. in early march, two bodies were found. investigators have not yet revealed the identity of those victims but they say believe their deaths are gang related. and one more thing

radar and why did the national weather service only issue severe thunderstorm, well, take a look, you see this beam kind of doing a slow sleep, this is down in wakefield. this is the national weather service that is covered by salisbury. so as this beam goes out away from the radar, it shoots further up in the sky. farther away it gets, the higher the beam goes. what was happening yesterday, the beam shooting over the rotation, so the radar couldn't pick up the rotation, but because of the fact that they saw some very heavy rain in the area, they did issue that severe thunderstorm warning. there's kind of the why behind the storm, yesterday, wendy. >> thank you, amelia. you know anyone can fall victim to this, and now it's gaining attention from the white house, the new effort to tackle the opioid crisis that's hitting our schools, suburbs and cities. mother turns her pain into purpose. what she wants others to learn from her son's overdosed death after touring with the
