Officials are seeking the public's help in locating a 17-year-old boy from Lower Gwynedd Township.
Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele and Lower Gwynedd Township Police Chief Paul Kenny requested assistance Wednesday afternoon in the search for Joon "Alex” Shin, who was reported missing from his family’s home Sunday, Oct. 3.
Lower Gwynedd Township Police and the Montgomery County Detective Bureau are jointly conducting the search for Alex, who is of Asian descent, 5-foot-6 and about 175 pounds. He left home by car, said officials, but he might have abandoned the vehicle and used public transportation.
His cellphone last placed him around 11th and Arch Streets in Philadelphia Sunday evening.
"There is an urgent concern for Alex’s safety and physical wellbeing,” said Steele. "We are asking for the public’s help to get Alex home safely to his family.”
Anyone who sees Alex or has any information about his whereabouts is asked to call the Lower Gwynedd Police at (215) 646-5300 or the Montgomery County Emergency Dispatch at (610) 635-4300.
