FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas – A local Amber Alert has been issued for 8-year-old Ryan Akagbusi, who was reported missing in Fort Bend County, and police are asking for the public’s help in locating him.

Akagbusi was last seen at 4:30 a.m. Saturday in the 19900 block of Kendall Lake Drive in Richmond. The 8-year-old is nonverbal autistic but responds to his name, his mother says.

“Please call Ryan, he doesn’t talk, he doesn’t answer, but he turns around when he hears ‘Ryan,'” she told FOX 26.

It’s a desperate call from a mother in the community hoping to find her 8-year-old son alive. “Please bring him home, Ryan is my first baby,” his mother pleaded. “Please call the police, call us.”

Akagbusi’s mother told FOX 26 she last saw her son around 4 a.m. when he was in the bathroom cleaning himself. When she realized he wasn’t in his room, she ran outside.

“I came out and saw his shoes. I found his shoes further down the street. Then we looked further and I saw him running on a neighbor’s camera. That was the last thing I saw,” she says.
