According to D'Albor, Bralon Edwards, 7, a black male, was last seen wearing a green shirt and shorts (school uniform) and gray and black Nike shoes. He was at a friend's house and was planning to walk home but never made it there. D'Albor said Edwards was last seen near Mulkern Street.

"We don't suspect foul play, but due to the young age of the boy, we're looking at everything and using all our resources, " said the chief. "Anyone with information on this boy's whereabouts should immediately call us at 824-0423 or call your local 911."
