KANSAS CITY, MO — Kansas City police are asking residents to help locate a 3-year-old boy who has been missing since Thursday afternoon. Investigators say Kevari Wilson was last seen around 3:30 p.m. near East 103rd Terrace and Skiles Avenue.
The Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department released Wilson’s description as it continues the search. Officers say he is 2 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs 35 pounds. Police have not said what he was wearing when he disappeared.
Last known sighting happened near East 103rd Terrace and Skiles Avenue
Authorities say the child was last seen in the area of East 103rd Terrace and Skiles Avenue in Kansas City. That time stamp, about 3:30 p.m. Thursday, is the key detail investigators are using as they piece together where he may have gone.
Police have not released any additional circumstances about how Wilson became separated from the people with him. They also have not identified any suspects or said whether investigators believe foul play is involved.
For now, the department is treating the case as a missing-child search and is asking the public to stay alert in the surrounding area and report anything that may help officers.
Police share the child’s description as search continues
According to KCPD, Wilson is 2 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs 35 pounds. Those measurements may help anyone who spots a child matching the description to recognize him quickly.
Officers also said they do not know what clothing he was wearing when he was last seen. That leaves investigators without one of the usual identifying details that can sometimes help speed up a search.
Police did not provide a photo in the information released with the alert, but they urged residents to use the physical description and location details while remaining watchful for any child who might fit them.
How residents can contact investigators with tips
Anyone with information about Wilson’s whereabouts is being told to call 911 right away. Police said tips can also be directed to the KCPD Missing Persons Unit at 816-234-5043.
Officials did not specify what kind of information would be most useful, but even small details about where the boy may have been seen after 3:30 p.m. Thursday could assist the investigation. Officers often use public calls, witnesses, and neighborhood reports to narrow a search area.
The department has not said whether additional search efforts are underway, but the public appeal indicates the case remains active and unresolved.
Why missing child cases move quickly in the first hours
Missing child reports often draw immediate attention because the first hours can be critical. The more precise the last-known location and time, the better chance investigators have of tracing nearby movement, traffic patterns, and possible witness accounts.
In this case, police have given a specific time and intersection area, which can help focus attention from people who live, work, or were driving in the neighborhood Thursday afternoon. That kind of local memory can matter when official details are still limited.
With clothing still unknown and no other identifying information released, officers are relying heavily on the community’s willingness to notice and report anything unusual.
Kansas City residents urged to stay alert and report sightings immediately
Police are encouraging anyone in the Kansas City area to remain alert for a small child matching Wilson’s description. If residents believe they see him or have any credible lead, officers want them to contact emergency services immediately rather than wait.
The department’s missing-persons number gives the public a direct way to pass along tips to investigators who are actively handling the case. That information can include sightings, vehicle details, or other observations from the area near where he was last seen.
For now, the search centers on one urgent question: where Kevari Wilson went after Thursday afternoon. Police have not released further updates.
