The Chicago Police Department is seeking public assistance in the search for a missing teenage boy, Lamarcus Adams, who was last seen on September 22, 2025, near the 1500 block of W. Balmoral Ave. in Westchester, Illinois. Described as a 14-year-old Black male with brown eyes and black hair, Lamarcus stands 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs approximately 130 pounds, according to the police report.
Known by nicknames "BJ" or "Twon," Lamarcus was last seen wearing distinctive clothing, a black hooded sweatshirt, a light blue T-shirt, and True Religion jeans known for their ripped rear right pocket, along with white and light blue retro Jordans, and he might have earrings in both ears, the report noted. The circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear, and there is little to go by, but community members and local authorities are concerned for his safety and encourage any potential witnesses to step forward. Officials are actively searching for leads to bring Lamarcus home.
The Chicago Police Department has dedicated their Area Four Special Victims Unit (SVU) to handling the investigation, emphasizing the importance of any information that could assist in locating the young boy. The SVU can be contacted at 312-746-8255, and in case of immediate sightings, the public is urged to dial 911. The department remains hopeful as these first critical days pass, yet the unease grows with each hour Lamarcus remains unaccounted for.
As the community anxiously awaits news, the Chicago Police Department reiterates the need for vigilance and appeals to the public to spread the word about Lamarcus's disappearance.
