UPDATE: The amber alert has been canceled. Sandra was found safe.

A Colorado Amber Alert has been issued for 14-year-old Sandra Mendoza after she was abducted by an unknown male in Pueblo, local officials say. Anyone with information is urged to call 911 immediately.

The incident happened at 5:10 p.m. on Wednesday, in the 1200 block of S Prairie Avenue in Pueblo, when an unidentified man walked up to Sandra’s vehicle and took both her and the car, according to the amber alert.

The stolen vehicle was later recovered in the 1100 block of Cypress Street but Sandra and the suspect are still missing. “[The] juvenile is expected to be in danger,” the Pueblo Police Department said in a statement.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male.

Sandra is described as a 14-year-old Hispanic female with black hair and hazel eyes, standing 5 feet tall and weighing 100 pounds. She was last seen wearing a black shirt and blue jeans.

There were conflicting reports about Sandra’s exact age: The Pueblo Police Department said the missing girl is 14 years old, while the amber alert listed her age at 13.

Anyone who sees Sandra or the suspect is urged to call 911 immediately, or call the Pueblo Police Department at 719-553-2502 if you have any other information that could help investigators.

Travis Hunter has proven he can excel at both wide receiver and cornerback. 

The Colorado Buffaloes star has racked up 1,498 career receiving yards and 15 touchdowns. He also has seven interceptions at the collegiate level. 

Hunter is confident his overall body of work proves he should have the edge in this season’s Heisman voting. 

During a recent sitdown on former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin’s “Outta Pocket with RGIII” podcast, the Heisman hopeful laid out his case.

“I know I can win it, but I don’t know who’s there,” Hunter said. “I mean, y’all see Ashton Jeanty, but it’s not like we haven’t seen a running back that’s good. We haven’t seen a player that plays both ways, and I’m going to keep saying that.”

Hunter was referring to Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, who has rushed for 1,248 in the first six weeks of the season.

But Hunter argued that since he plays on both sides of the ball, it is much more challenging for him to have dominant stats in one particular category.

Hunter went on to describe his impact on offense and defense.

“(Jeanty) has, I think, 95 carries for 1,000 yards,” Hunter added. “If I had 95 catches, how much yards you think I’d have? If I had 95 targets on defense, what you think I’d have?. … So, I try to tell you, he’s got double the touches I’ve got on the offensive side of the ball, and I still have defensive stats that’s still crazy, and we’re only in Week 6. So, I’m not gonna argue about it.”

In addition to his impressive rushing total, Jeanty is averaging 9.9 yards per carry.

Hunter has also recorded three pass breakups and a forced fumble in his first six games playing in the Big 12.

Just a few years ago, Hunter was one of the most highly sought after high school football recruits in the U.S.

While all signs pointed to Hunter taking his talents to Florida, he chose Jackson State on signing day for the opportunity to play for NFL legend Deion Sanders.

ESPN placing Colorado’s two-way star Travis Hunter as a mid-season Heisman finalist speaks volumes about his impact in college football. Hunter earned 52 total votes in the straw poll, including three first-place votes, emphasizing his status as one of the sport’s most dynamic and valuable players. No one else in college football combines his versatility and effectiveness across both offense and defense.

As Colorado returned to the Big 12, Hunter quickly emerged as a leader in the conference, particularly with his prowess as a wide receiver. He led the Big 12 in receptions with 49 catches for 587 yards and six touchdowns. His season started with four straight games surpassing 100 receiving yards, showcasing his explosive capabilities. However, Hunter’s contributions don’t stop at offense. As a cornerback, he has excelled defensively, making key plays, including three pass breakups and two interceptions, and he hasn’t allowed a single touchdown pass, adding to his extraordinary value.

Hunter was beat out by Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, who took 66 total votes (11 first-place). Miami’s Cam Ward came in third as the only quarterback listed in the top three.

Unfortunately, Hunter suffered a shoulder injury in Colorado’s tight 31-28 loss to Kansas State, which caused him to miss the second half. Coach Deion Sanders hasn’t provided a clear update on Hunter’s condition, leaving fans hoping for a quick recovery for this Heisman contender. His absence is notable as no other player contributes to their team in such a comprehensive manner.

One of Hunter’s defining moments came in Colorado’s 48-21 win over UCF, where he made several highlight-reel plays, including a diving interception that prompted him to strike the iconic Heisman pose. He also caught nine passes for 89 yards and a touchdown in that game, epitomizing his dual-threat ability.

Before his injury, Hunter had been on the field for 92% of Colorado’s offensive and defensive plays, totaling 663 snaps. No other FBS player has come close to matching his 500 combined snaps, making Hunter a unique and deserving Heisman finalist.
