Little Rock Police are searching for a missing two-year-old boy, Markel Jennings, who was last seen at an apartment building on the 1200 block of Geyer Springs Road. Police say he was last known to be traveling eastbound on 9th Street, and officers are now asking the public for help locating him.
According to KATV, Jennings is described as 2 feet tall and 25 pounds. Police say he was wearing a black long-sleeve shirt with no markings, gray socks, and no shoes when he was last seen. The department has not released further details about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
How to Help Find Markel Jennings
Little Rock Police are urging anyone with information about Jennings’ whereabouts to contact the department at (501) 371-4829. The boy was reportedly barefoot, with his last known movements along 9th Street.
The search comes as Arkansas families have faced similar frightening situations in recent memory. Arkansas State Police previously activated an Amber Alert after three children were reported missing from their home in Little Rock on a Saturday, according to KARK. In that case, state police reported the children were found safe around 8:48 p.m. No such update has been reported in Jennings’ case, and his current status remains unknown.
What We Still Don't Know
As of now, there is no confirmed update on Markel Jennings’ condition or whereabouts beyond the last sighting near Geyer Springs Road and 9th Street. Little Rock Police have not released additional information about how he came to be separated from caregivers or what prompted the search. Anyone with information is asked to call police rather than wait for further official updates.
