The Bradenton Police Department is looking for Elecia Nicole Bing, 38, who was last seen with the suspect in a shooting Monday night at the Tropicana Bradenton facility and is believed to be in danger.
She is considered missing or endangered and law enforcement is concerned for her safety, according to a news release issued by the department Tuesday.
Bing was last seen leaving the Tropicana Bradenton facility with Demetrius Bell, the 50-year-old suspect who walked into the facility and shot a coworker on Monday night. The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment and is in stable condition. Bing is also an employee at the facility.

Authorities believe the two men were involved in a dispute, and Bell, who works a different shift, walked into the Tropicana Bradenton plant Monday night while the victim was working and shot him.
Warrants have been issued for Bell, who faces charges of aggravated battery with a firearm as well as possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Bing is 5'10" about 110 lbs, and has black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a yellow safety shirt and blue jeans. Bell was last seen driving a 2015 black Camaro with Florida license plate QUQF97.
Authorities ask anyone with information about Bing or Bell's whereabouts to contact Det. Jeff Beckley at 941-932-9356 or by sending an email to jeff.beckley@bradentonpd.com.
