The Milwaukee Police Department is requesting the assistance of the public in finding Jaden Barksdale, an 11-year-old boy reported as critically missing. Barksdale was last seen yesterday morning on foot around 24th and Atkinson, according to FOX6 News.
Described as standing 5 feet, 3 inches tall, weighing approximately 100 pounds, he has distinctive black hair marked by a brown patch and black eyes, and he was last known to be wearing a white shirt paired with black pants. WISN has shared this particular information; police also believe he might be found on a county bus, yet this clue offers little consolation to a community now steeped in concern and the unease that pervades when a child goes missing.
Efforts to locate Barksdale have been underway since his disappearance was noted, with CBS58 reporting that anyone with relevant information is encouraged to contact the Milwaukee Police Department District 5 at 414-935-7252, a direct line to those coordinating the search.
