The Bothell Police Department in Washington state ended a morning search for a missing juvenile on Thursday after locating him near Frank Love Elementary School. The discovery came after officers maintained a visible presence in the neighborhood while looking for the boy, who was believed to be on foot.
The search began when the department identified a juvenile male as a suspect in a domestic violence incident. Officers described the individual as wearing a gray T-shirt. Because the search area overlapped with the school's vicinity, officials contacted Frank Love Elementary School to alert staff and families. The department also asked the public to stay away from the neighborhood while officers worked the area.
Police confirmed the suspect has been found but did not specify the exact location where he was located. Officials have not stated whether the boy was taken into custody without incident or provide details about the alleged domestic violence event. The suspect's exact age and the status of any criminal charges remain unconfirmed by the department as of the latest update.
With the suspect located, police activity in the immediate area has been cleared. The Bothell Police Department said it will share further updates with the public as more information becomes available regarding the investigation and the suspect's status.
