Murfreesboro police are asking for the public's help finding a teenager who walked out of his home two days ago and hasn't been seen since. Jylon Jeter left home on Nov. 9 and did not return, according to a missing-person alert shared by police, who say he took a laptop with him but left without his shoes or his eyeglasses.
The Murfreesboro TN Police Department posted the alert on Facebook, describing Jeter as last seen wearing a black T-shirt with white writing and medium-wash jeans. The department said he has been entered into the National Crime Information Center as missing, a step used to flag his case to law enforcement systems nationwide.
Detectives are asking anyone with information that could help locate Jeter to contact Detective Hofmeister directly. The department listed a tip line of 629-201-5587 for tips in the case.
Other Missing-Teen Cases in Murfreesboro
Murfreesboro has had other cases involving missing teenagers. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation issued an Endangered Child Alert for a teenage girl missing out of Murfreesboro, whom FOX17 identified as 16-year-old Kaiya Jackson. That report said Jackson was last seen wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt, tan cheetah-print pajama pants and a gray hoodie, and asked anyone with information to call the Murfreesboro Police Department or the TBI.
In another case, an Endangered Child Alert issued for a teenage boy who went missing in Murfreesboro was canceled less than 30 minutes after it went out, according to WKRN. That report said authorities had identified Jason Manson Jr. as last seen at the corner of River Rock Boulevard and Sycamore Drive in Murfreesboro on June 8, and that his medical condition could affect his ability to return safely without help. Officials announced just after 9 p.m. that evening that Manson had been found safe in Murfreesboro, the station reported.
