A 15-year-old boy has gone missing in Philadelphia, and police are asking the public to help bring him home. Luis Franco was last seen on the 32xx block of N. Marshall Street on Sunday, according to Philadelphia Police, and his family and investigators have not reported his whereabouts since.
According to Newport Dispatch, Franco is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black T-shirt, blue shorts, and white and red sneakers. The Philadelphia Police Department's own news-blotter archive separately lists him as a missing juvenile from the 25th District, confirming that his case is active with investigators.
Anyone with information about Franco's whereabouts is asked to contact the East Detective Division at 215-686-3243. It is not yet known whether he has been located since he was last seen Sunday.
Other Juveniles Reported Missing From the Same District
Franco's disappearance is not the only missing-juvenile case tied to the 25th District this year. Police asked for the public's help locating 14-year-old Maribelis Madera, who was last seen at her residence on the 3500 block of Water Street at approximately 9:00 p.m. on October 26, and who investigators noted may frequent the area of Samuels Playground at 3539 Gaul Street, per the department's notice.
Earlier this year, police also sought assistance finding 15-year-old Lilliana Osuna, who was reported missing after leaving her residence on the 4600 block of Boudinot Street at approximately 9:00 p.m. on April 30. Both cases were handled as notices from the 25th District, though the available police records do not establish any pattern connecting them to Franco's disappearance.
No additional details about Franco's case have been released, and it remains unclear whether he has been found. Anyone with information is urged to reach out to detectives at the number listed above.
