"We have nothing further to investigate at this point and the missing person entry has been cancelled," Lt. Dave Wohlgemuth told Patch in an email.
Jones' family reported they last saw him Thursday evening, around bedtime, in the area of 14th and Grand, according to a report on Racine Uncovered.
Jones was described as the boy who would help friends get home, not disappear himself.Â
A family member contacted Racine Uncovered to report that, true to form, Jones was helping a friend in need.
"He is safe. He was helping a friend who was running away due to possible abuse issues. She is at Safe Haven now," they said. "(Someone)Â will spend the day with her there."
