UPDATE: A statewide Texas Amber Alert was re-issued Friday for a 7-month-old boy who was taken from his father's home by his estranged mother on Thursday - and now authorities say a man was also involved in the abduction of Miguel David Lee Ramirez.
Officials said 25-year-old Marcus Nast entered the home without consent and took the boy along with 20-year-old Faith Reid. When confronted by the boy's father, who has legal custody, authorities said Nast pulled out a gun and threatened him.
Nast and Reid are said to have fled with the boy in a white 2010 Ford F-150 extended cab pickup truck with the license plate GRD-5538.
Nast is described as five-foot-eleven inches tall and weighing 168 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes and numerous tattoos.
Authorities said anyone who spots the couple and the boy should call 911 immediately.
