CLEVELAND – A 15-year-old Ohio boy who was last seen at a house party more than two weeks ago may have been abducted, according to Cleveland police.

Keshaun Williams was last seen on June 17, at a home in the 5700 block of Fleet Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. He was reported as missing to law enforcement on June 20.

Police said they have conducted multiple interviews to follow up on information provided by sources. Currently, the case is being investigated as a possible abduction.

Keshaun Williams was last seen wearing cream-colored jogging pants with white and blue lettering, and gray Jordan tennis shoes. He is 5′5′' to 5′7′' tall and weighs around 120 to 130 pounds. He has black hair with braids and brown eyes.

The suspect is unknown. The vehicle involved is described as a black Jeep SUV with a temporary license plate. The Cleveland Division of Police in Cuyahoga County issued an AMBER Alert for Keshawn Williams. You can view active AMBER Alerts on NCMEC’s website.

Cleveland Family Center for Missing Children and Adults held a press conference with Keshawn Williams’ family on Wednesday, June 28.

His mother, Sherice Snowden, said Keshawn William was attending a party not far from their home on June 17. He called her at 10:38 p.m. and said he was on his way home. She did not hear from him after that and his phone now goes straight to voicemail.

“We always communicate with each other every single day so this is very, very irregular, and very alarming,” Sherice Snowden said. “He’s a very bright kid. He works at the church. He does gardening. He’s very good at school. He’s very involved. He’s helped other kids that are being bullied. . . . I’m concerned and I’m worried.”

Sherice Snowden said her son has never been away from her for this long before.

“Every day that he’s gone and every hour is very scary,” Sherice Snowden said. “Keshawn is all I have. That’s my heart.”

Anyone with information should contact Cleveland police at 216-623-5400 or 911.
