A 10-year-old boy has been missing from southwest Bakersfield since Halloween night, and police are asking anyone with information to come forward.

Investigators consider Cazares especially vulnerable. Law enforcement said he is considered “at-risk” due to being a first time runaway, per the same account, while his sister, Maliyah Rodriguez, is described by police as a habitual runaway.
