Kamloops Mounties are asking the public for help in locating an Indigenous male youth who’s been missing for nearly two days.
Jayden Vell, 17, went missing at about 6 p.m. on Monday, July 27.
He is described as standing five-foot-seven inches tall weighing about 130 pounds.
He has long black curly hair, brown eyes, wears glasses and is typically dressed in a brown toque, light brown hooded sweatshirt and ripped jeans.
According to police Vell was last at his home in Westsyde and heading to the skate park on McArthur Island Monday evening.
