Ty’kwon Jakarius Smith-Sims, a Black teenager from Greenwood, Mississippi, disappeared on February 15, 2021. Born August 31, 2004, he was 16 at the time and is now listed as 21 in public databases. Physical descriptions vary: some alerts list him about 5 feet 10 inches and 155 pounds, while earlier reports said 5 feet 5 inches and 140 pounds.

He was last seen near the river bank close to Greenwood-Leflore Hospital in the 1400 block of River Road, reportedly wearing a blue T-shirt and gray shorts and seen at about 3:30 a.m. His mother took him to the hospital because he was experiencing extreme anxiety and may have needed medical care; after they arrived he ran toward the river and was not seen again. His disappearance is classified as endangered missing and the case remains open in public missing-person databases.

Does anyone in Greenwood remember seeing Ty’kwon that night or have information that could help locate him?
