Family and friends of a Miami area teen who went missing in Gainesville last week resumed their search for him Monday.

The last time anyone saw 18-year old Christian Aguilar was last Thursday around 6 p.m. when he reportedly got into a fight with 18-year old Pedro Bravo. According to Carlos Aguilar, Bravo is his son’s friend from Doral Academy. He added that his son was currently dating a girl who Bravo had dated when they lived in South Florida. He did not say if he thought the fight may have been over her. Bravo reportedly told police that after the fight he left Aguilar in a parking lot in the 4900 block of NW 13th St (US 441) in northwestern Gainesville. Police believe that Aguilar may be disoriented and/or seriously injured, and unable to seek medical attention.

Consider a Person of Interest in Aguilar’s disappearance, Bravo has not been charged with a crime. He was, however, held for mental examination under Florida’s Baker Act after he allegedly made comments to investigators that he wanted to harm or kill himself.

The newspaper reports that Bravo has not been charged but is being held under the state's Baker Act after making comments to police about wanting to harm himself.

Aguilar's friends and relatives have been searching for him since Friday. He was last seen wearing a blue-gray hoodie and light-colored jeans.

His friend talks about him in the article and really misses him. I wish they would pin point a little better where he was last seen.

Trial of friend accused of killing Miami teen Christian Aguilar set to begin

A father makes another painful trip to Gainesville for the trial of Pedro Bravo — the teenager accused of murdering his son, University of Florida freshman Christian Aguilar.

For much of the 350-mile drive from Miami to Gainesville, Carlos Aguilar thought of the son he had buried almost two years ago.

This is a strange case of two Miami teenagers who left for Gainesville as friends to start their lives as college students. One was killed; the other ended up in a jail cell. And, in between, an anguished father stood before a bank of media cameras almost every day, pleading for help. During the fall semester of 2012, the Miami and Gainesville communities were united by the disappearance and death of Christian Aguilar.

Aguilar disappeared that Sept. 20, last seen in the afternoon with Bravo entering a Best Buy to buy CDs. On Oct. 12, after a massive volunteer search that bonded hundreds of friends, family and strangers, Aguilar’s body was discovered by hunters in the woods, half-buried under a carpet of sticks and leaves in Levy County, an hour from the campus that had become his new home.

Bravo, who was 18 at the time, stands charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping, poisoning and other crimes.
