After four years at Duke, Grayson Allen is back in North Carolina, now a member of the Charlotte Hornets.

Former Blue Devil Grayson Allen will play home games in North Carolina for the first time in his professional career after four years at Duke. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Allen is on the move to the Charlotte Hornets after three seasons with the Phoenix Suns.

Allen was traded alongside Royce O’Neale and draft capital in return for Miles Bridges and draft picks. Allen was at Duke from 2014 to 2018, earning an NCAA championship and two All-ACC selections.

With Allen now a member of the Hornets, this will create a Duke trio in Charlotte, which includes Allen, Kon Knueppel and Sion James.

An AMBER Alert has been issued for a 15-year-old New Bern boy after police say he was abducted at gunpoint from a motel early Saturday morning.

According to the New Bern Police Department, officers responded around 3:15 a.m. to the Palace Motel, located at 1901 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., after receiving a report of a child abduction.

Police said two adults inside the motel room told officers they had been asleep with two boys — 15-year-old Isaiah Kavon Owens and 13-year-old Kenneth Brantley Jr. — when they were awakened by someone banging on the door.

According to investigators, Larry Tompkins opened the door and encountered multiple people, including Kenneth Lee Brantley Sr., the father of Kenneth Brantley Jr.

Police said Brantley pointed a gun at Tompkins before taking both boys from the room and leaving in a black 2012 GMC Yukon Denali XL with South Carolina license plate XFH752.

Authorities said Brantley may be traveling to his residence in Marion, South Carolina. A statewide BOLO (Be On the Lookout) has been issued for the vehicle.

The North Carolina Center for Missing Persons issued an AMBER Alert Friday morning at the request of the New Bern Police Department.

Isaiah is described as a Black male, 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing approximately 100 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, black pants and red-and-blue sneakers.

Police said Isaiah is autistic and has a speech delay.

Investigators said arrest warrants have been obtained for Brantley charging him with the abduction and endangerment of Isaiah Owens.

The New Bern Police Department said it is working with local, state, out-of-state and federal law enforcement agencies to locate Isaiah and ensure his safe return.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the New Bern Police Department at 252-633-2020, their local law enforcement agency, or call 911 immediately.

Authorities advise the public not to approach Brantley.
