The Pima County Sheriff's Department is asking people to be on the lookout for a suicidal teen armed with a plastic toy gun who was reported missing Thursday.

Rey Jesus Caballero, 16, left his home in the 4400 block of West Corona Road, in the Drexel Heights area, after a domestic dispute, Deputy Dawn Barkman said.

The main concerns regarding his disappearance include past suicide threats and the fact that the diabetic teen has not had his insulin in more than 24 hours, she said.

Caballero initially ran away from home Wednesday but returned Thursday afternoon, only to leave again after the domestic disruption.

He is 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighs about 150 pounds and was last seen wearing camouflage fatigues. In addition to the plastic pistol, Caballero also had a paint gun, Barkman said

Anyone with information about him are urged to call 911.

Good Heavens. I hope he doesn't brandish that gun at the wrong person and get shot because they think it's real.

I hope this young man is found safe.

My first thought were aim at the police and you have suicide by cop ~ the easy way out.
Hoping I'm wrong and he returns safe.

A few years ago some good friends of ours' son was a police in Greenville, SC. A report of a man waving a gun at cars was called in to the station. Russ had no way of knowing it was a toy and ended up shooting and killing the deranged man. He never got over it, but didn't have long. Not long afterward he was chasing a subject and it is speculated he waited to pull his gun and was killed by Joe Shepherd, serving life in prison but still breathing. Russ left behind grieving parents, siblings, widow and four month old little boy. His Dad was my Minister for about 20 years. Russ was the same age as my older son. Just to show what can happen with toy guns. Even residual effects.
Praying they find this young man and get him help.

Thats just awful Nana, I'm so sorry. And your right about the residual effects. Thats why its mandatory for officer involved in shootings especially where someone is killed to get psych counseling. The way some of these toy guns are made today, they look too darn real.
