The mother of an East Tennessee teenager pleaded for her daughter to come home after she allegedly left with a 28-year-old man.
Officials with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation issued an AMBER Alert at 6:40 a.m. Wednesday after a store clerk was fatally shot in Nashville overnight.
Daniel Clark was identified as the suspect who fatally shot a clerk inside an Exxon on Charlotte Pike during a robbery.

Clark was believed to be with endangered 15-year-old girl, Trinity Quinn, who is from Dayton, Tennessee. She was last seen on Monday at Rhea County school. She was considered a runaway.
The two were later found near Old Hickory Boulevard and Charlotte Pike on Wednesday morning. Both were taken into custody.
Officials said the girl's mother was headed to Nashville on Wednesday afternoon following the discovery of her daughter and Clark.

Police said they believe Quinn was manipulated into leaving with Clark, who was a family friend. She reportedly called him “Uncle Dan,” and friends said she did have a teenage crush on him, though nothing serious.
However, police said they believe Clark capitalized on that crush and now Quinn's mother has been very worried about her daughter's safety.

"We love you and miss you please come home,” Stephanie Reed said.
Quinn and Clark seemed to plan their disappearance by packing items, such as clothing and make-up. Both also turned off their cell phones.
