The Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office, FBI and other law enforcement agencies are continuing an active search Tuesday afternoon for a New York man wanted on a federal warrant involving a crime against a child.

Authorities are searching for Tavion Young, who was last seen in the Gore community near Wahatchee Trail, off Mitchell Road.

Young is described as approximately six feet tall and weighing around 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing red pajama-style pants.

A heavy law enforcement presence has been reported in the Gore and Mitchell Road area as officers continue searching for the suspect.

In an update Tuesday afternoon, the Sheriff’s Office said investigators have no evidence that Young has left the area.

“At this point we have no evidence that he has left the area. We are still in the area searching,” the update stated.

Residents in the Gore community and surrounding areas are urged to remain alert and avoid approaching anyone believed to be the suspect.

Anyone who sees Young or someone matching his description should call 911 immediately.

The search remains active, and WZQZ will provide additional information as it becomes available.
