The Philadelphia Police Department is urgently seeking public assistance in the case of missing 13-year-old Rahmir Goss. The young boy, hailing from the 7100 block of N. Broad Street, has not been seen since the morning of January 21. Last spotted at around 7:00 a.m. at the intersection of 70th and N. Broad Street, Rahmir was reported to have boarded a SEPTA vehicle on his way to AMY Northwest Middle School, located at 6000 Ridge Ave. According to the Philadelphia Police Department press release, he never arrived for his classes that day.

Further information obtained by the police suggests that Rahmir was last seen with his school friends getting on to board a different SEPTA bus. However, despite these leads, Rahmir's current location remains a mystery, and authorities are making every effort to quickly ascertain his whereabouts and ensure his safe return. The boy's mother was alerted by school officials upon realizing that Rahmir had not shown up for the school day, prompting immediate concern and subsequent reporting to the police.

In a statement obtained by Philly Police, the missing teenager is described as a Black male, 140 pounds, with a specific wardrobe last seen on him: a black Under Armor jacket, a brown hooded sweatshirt, blue sweatpants, and teal Asics sneakers. This description is shared in the hope that members of the public might recognize Rahmir and provide vital information that could lead to his discovery.

The Philadelphia Police Department urges anyone who has information that can help to locate Rahmir to come forward. They appeal to anyone who might have seen him or knows anything about his current location to contact the Northwest Detective Division at 215-686-3353 or to go ahead and call 911.
