CLEVELAND — It has been nearly five months since 15-year-old Keshaun Williams of Cleveland first went missing, setting off an Amber Alert. With his family set to hold a press conference later this week, the reward for information leading to Keshaun's whereabouts has increased.
On Tuesday, the nonprofit Cleveland Missing announced that the United States Marshals Service has pledged $5,000 in reward money, as has an anonymous community member. The total reward money for information leading to Keshaun Williams' whereabouts now stands at $22,500.
Investigators say on June 17, Williams had called his mother to let her know he was on his way home, but he never showed up. He has not been seen since. The still-active Amber Alert out for Keshaun Williams is now the longest running Amber Alert ever recorded in our area.
"It's difficult, especially when it's a juvenile," Cleveland Police Sergeant Wilfredo Diaz told 3News in September. "In this particular case, we're all invested in this. From the chief down, we're all concerned about this, and we're working as hard as we can.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Keshaun Williams is asked to please contact the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force at 1-866-4WANTED. You can send a web tip by clicking here. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
The Williams family is set to hold a press conference on Friday morning at the Newburgh Heights Village Hall.
