EZAIFA OKOCHA - 9 yo - Elk Grove (S of Sacramento) CA

Elk Grove CA ---- Authorities in Elk Grove need the public's help to
find a nine-year-old boy who was last seen Saturday afternoon.
According to police, officers were looking for Eziafa Okocha late
Saturday night, near his home in the 6800 block of Peninsula Way in Elk
Grove where he was last seen around 4 p.m.
Officers said family members contacted them around 10:04 p.m. after
the boy failed to come home.




Okocha is 4'6", 60 lbs. with black hair and brown eyes. He
was last seen wearing a black and gray shirt, blue shorts with an orange
design on the back pockets and burgundy/white Adidas tennis shoes.

Officers said they have classified the child as an "at risk
missing person" because of his age and because he has never gone
missing before.

However, police said they do not suspect foul-play at this
time and there's no indication that the boy was abducted.

Anyone with information on Okocha's whereabouts is asked to
call the Elk Grove Police Department at (916) 714-5115.

at a neighbor's house in the 6800 block of Springridge Way just
before 8:15 a.m. Sunday.

reunited with his family. It appears to be a miscommunication between
the child and his family, according to Trim.

when he was last seen near his home in the 6800 block of Peninsula Way
around 4 p.m. Trim said family members contacted them around 10:04 p.m.
