Jose Ronaldo Antunez-Mendez was 16 when he was last seen in Oakland, California, on May 7, 2018. Described as 5 feet 6 inches and 150 pounds with black hair and brown eyes, he was wearing a gray t-shirt, black pants and carrying a black backpack at the time he disappeared.

Authorities believe Jose ran away from home and was in good physical and mental condition when he left. He had connections in Seattle, Washington, and investigators think he may have been heading there to find work. The Oakland Police Department is investigating and the family is asking anyone with information to come forward.

Are there any readers who remember seeing Jose or his black backpack in Oakland or along routes to Seattle around May 2018?
