Police in Delaware are searching for a 10-year-old boy last seen by his mother on Friday morning.
According to a release from the New Castle County Police, Shamar Davis, who goes by the nickname “Bubba,” went missing from the New Castle Crossings apartment complex.
Police say Shamar is known to play outside with neighborhood children and visit various apartments.
Shamar’s mother Shanyece Moses told NBC Philadelphia she hopes Shamar stopped at someone’s house and lost track of time.
“He’s absent-minded, he wouldn’t think to keep track of time,” she told the outlet on Monday.
“Shamar, please come home,” she added through tears.
Neighbor Pat Dallatore told CBS Philly that Shamar was “a nice kid. Never been a problem.”
