The Minneapolis Police reached out to the community in a concerted effort to find two missing 11-year-olds, Ricardo Morgan and Angela Lynn Rios-Wakanabo, who were last seen on Tuesday, according to a Facebook post from the police department. Ricardo, described as being 5 ft tall and weighing around 120 lbs with a light blue shirt, dark pants, and black Nike shoes, was last seen leaving Sanford School, whereas Angela, also 5 ft tall but weighing about 160 lbs, with brown hair touched with red, was outfitted in a black hoodie and black and white pajama pants leaving for school in the morning.
Both children hail from distinct parts of Minneapolis, with Ricardo residing near the 900 block of Portland Av and the 2500 block of 14 Av, and Angela from close to the 2400 block of Ogema Pl and family members, believing they saw a social media post featuring the pair somewhere in the downtown area around 5 p.m. that same day, fear had grown as the city watched and waited for any news of their whereabouts. In response to their disappearance, the community was urged to call 911 immediately if they saw Ricardo or Angela and to send tips to the dedicated police email or leave a voicemail on a provided number; furthermore, those preferring to remain anonymous had the option to contact Crimestoppers through various means.
As worry permeated through the city, it was met with relief when an update announced that both Ricardo and Angela had been located and were confirmed safe, although details surrounding the circumstances of their temporary vanishing and subsequent finding were not immediately shared by the police.
