A 12-year-old boy last seen Friday at Westinghouse Academy in Pittsburgh’s Homewood neighborhood has not returned home, authorities said.

Pittsburgh Police are seeking help to find Taeshawn Battles, who is considered at risk because of his age.

Taeshawn is described as 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing 130 pounds, with brown eyes and short black hair.

He was dropped off at the school along North Murtland Avenue on Friday. He was wearing a brown hoodie with a pink skeleton on the front, light skinny jeans and black/gray New Balance tennis shoes.

Police said Taeshawn frequents the East Hills, Liberty Green Park and the area near the Obama Academy.

Anyone with information is asked to call 412-323-7141.
