Kalvin Howell was 13 when he disappeared from the Albany Park neighborhood on Chicago’s Northwest Side. He was last seen on January 23, 2016, although some reports list July 2017; both the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and NamUs record January 23, 2016 as his date of last contact. Kalvin is described as biracial (Black and Hispanic), 5 feet 3 inches tall, about 110 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a scar on his left eyebrow.

When last seen he was wearing a blue coat, black hat, black jeans, a dark gray dress shirt with light-colored stripes and black shoes. He frequented the area between Montrose and Lawrence Avenues, from Kedzie to Pulaski. The Chicago Police Department is the investigating agency, but public details about the circumstances of his disappearance are sparse and many questions remain.

If anyone knew Kalvin, saw him in that part of Albany Park around January 23, 2016, or has information that could help, please come forward.
