2 Kids Go Missing In Harlem, Families Put Out Call For Help: NYPD

HARLEM, NY — The search has continued for two boys who went missing in Harlem on Friday, according to police and posters put up by the families.

Alfa Barrie, 11, and Garrett Warren, 13, were both seen walking together at 145th Street and Lenox Avenue around 6 p.m., police said.

Police believe that the two boys, who are friends, might still be with another.

"We are trying to identify everybody who was with them," said Brian Gill, deputy chief at Detective Manhattan North. "We need to speak to every single person who was with them, we want to talk to classmates. We've been in contact with their schools."

Barrie, a Bronx resident, is 5 feet, 2 inches, roughly 100 pounds, and was last seen wearing a navy sweater with a "Democracy Prep Harlem Middle School" logo, police said.

“This was the first time this ever happened,” Fatima Diallo, told PIX11 about her brother Barrie not coming home after school on Friday.

Warren, a Harlem resident, is around 6 feet tall, 215 pounds, and was last seen wearing a tan hooded sweatshirt with a white T-shirt underneath, police said.

The families of the two boys have placed missing posters near Democracy Prep Middle School on West 133rd Street, where Barrie goes to school. Warren attends a different school, police said.

“Find my grandson," Candy Bojng, Warren's grandmother, told PIX11. "This is not like him. He is not a little boy who just up and disappears for days and days."

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
