The Plantation Police Department has issued a public plea for assistance in locating Jamari Oshae Hicks, a 16-year-old boy who is reported to have run away from home. Hicks was last seen on Monday morning in the vicinity of 8200 Cleary Boulevard in Plantation. According to Local10.com, Jamari is described as a black male, with black hair, brown eyes, standing 5 feet 8 inches in height, and weighing around 130 pounds.
Efforts are currently underway to safely locate the teen. The public has been urged to come forward with any information that could help to quickly bring Hicks back to his family. Noted for wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans when he was last seen, the details provided seek to jog any potential witness’s memory of a youth who might now seem distinctly etched in their recent observations. In a statement obtained by Local10.com, detectives working the case strongly encourage anyone with knowledge of Jamari’s current whereabouts to come forward by contacting the police at 954-797-2100 immediately.
His family and authorities are increasingly concerned about Jamari's welfare. Additional information shared via an Instagram post emphasizes his classification as a runaway, which complicates the overarching urgency inherent in cases of missing juveniles. The dissemination of Jamari’s image and description through social media channels represents an appeal to the internet’s expansive reach, hoping to spur leads that may quickly resolve his absence.
Authorities have emphasized the importance of contacting them at 954-797-2100 with any details that could help resolve the case and bring peace of mind to the family.
