The Memphis Police Department has successfully located a 3-year-old boy who went missing earlier this week. Identified as King Williams, the young boy was reported missing on Monday evening from the Frayser neighborhood. According to WREG, he was last seen around 7:30 p.m. at the 1800 block of Driftwood Avenue.
Standing at a height of 3 feet and weighing 90 pounds, King was described as having black locs. Dressed in a pink shirt adorned with a snake, light blue jeans, and gray Nike shoes, the boy's appearance was distinctive enough to catch the public's eye. Around 2 a.m. Tuesday, in an attempt to hasten his recovery, the MPD issued a City Watch Alert, only to cancel it four hours later after the child was found, safe and sound. This rapid turn of events was reported by Action News 5.
The circumstances surrounding how and where the child was found have not been made immediately clear by the police. Nonetheless, the Memphis Police Department has expressed relief that King Williams is unharmed and now back with his family. Found safe at about 6 a.m. Further details of King's brief disappearance and the cooperative search efforts were shared by FOX13 Memphis.
