WASHINGTON — Update:

12-year-old Jaylin Roberts has been found safe, according to D.C. Police.

Original Story:

The Metropolitan Police Department is asking for your help in locating a missing 12-year-old boy last seen in Northeast, D.C.

Authorities say Jaylin Roberts was last seen in the 3700 block of Hayes Street, NE on Wednesday, May 12. at around 7 p.m. Jaylin was reported missing to DC Police on Friday, May 14.

Jaylin is described as a Black male, standing 5-feet tall, weighing 100 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a white sweatshirt, tan pants and white shoes.

Anyone with any information regarding Jaylin's whereabouts is asked to contact DC Police at 202-727-9099 immediately.

Earlier Friday, the mother of missing 2-month-old Kyon Jones was arrested and charged with felony murder on Friday, DC Police said. 

Ladonia Boggs, 37, of Northeast, D.C., was arrested and charged with Felony Murder after baby Kyon was reported missing nearly a week ago.

Kyon was last seen in the 1500 block of Benning Road, NE on Wednesday, May 5, according to DC Police, who emphasized that Kyon's body still has not been found. 

The arrest comes just after DC Police Chief Robert Contee told WUSA9 Thursday that he had seen video of Boggs, throwing things into the garbage, but didn't elaborate on what items she tossed. 

He added that Boggs remained the sole person of interest in his disappearance.
