WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) --It has been more than a week since 18-year-old Al'quon Flowers went missing. Brunswick County deputies and Wilmington Police are still looking for the man whose family says his background may have had something to do with the incident.
"He's just a child that has been caught up in a situation that's not his own making," Al'quon's great aunt Theresa Greene said.
Flowers disappeared July 19. Family members say they are sure he was targeted as part of some sort of gang violence.
"Some of his brothers are in gangs," Greene said. "There are situations that have happened that I think is a retaliation from some of the stuff that they have done."
"He's a follower, but as far as him being in a gang, you know, he just followed his brothers," Al'quon's father Garry Hines said. "They're his brothers."
They believe opposing gang members kidnapped Flowers because of past events his family was involved with.
Flowers was last seen on an unknown block of Red Cross Street on Tuesday, July 19, at about 3 p.m. His family believes that not long after that he was taken to Brunswick County.
