Cleveland Missing hosted a press conference Thursday morning to provide an update on a teen who went missing in June 2023.
Watch the press conference below:
Keshaun Williams, who is now 17, according to his mother, was last seen near Fleet and Gertrude avenues in Cleveland on June 17.
"There is a family out there who is hurting and we need to help," Newburgh Heights Police Chief John Majoy said. "When I say we, I don't mean Cleveland Missing. I don't mean law enforcement. I mean everybody who is watching this, who sees this, to know that we all need to come together to try and find Keshaun and bring him home to his mom."
To try and help find him, authorities have increased the reward money being offered to $22,500 in Nov. 2023.

Keshaun is 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs around 130 pounds. He has brown eyes and black hair worn in braids. He was wearing black jogging pants and a T-shirt.
An Amber Alert was later issued, and according to the Northeast Ohio Amber Alert Committee, he was seen with a group of people the night he went missing.
The Amber Alert remains active.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call Cleveland Police at 216-623-5400. You can also contact the U.S. Marshals Service at 1-866-4-WANTED. Tips can be anonymous.
You can receive the $22,500 anonymously, according to Majoy.
