A search for an American college student in Barcelona continues after authorities say James “Jimmy” Gracey went missing in the early morning hours of March 17.
Gracey went out the night of March 16 to Shôko, a club in Barcelona, his mother wrote in the public Facebook group Barcelona Expat Families.
Gracey is a University of Alabama student, the school said in a statement to USA TODAY on March 19.
"We are keeping Jimmy and his family at the forefront of our thoughts, and our staff are in direct communication with the family to offer every support and assistance possible," the school said in the statement. "Anyone with information that may help is encouraged to contact local authorities. The safety and well-being of all our students, here and abroad, are always the University's top priority."
Gracey's family members are also pleading with residents in Barcelona to come forward with any information.
