Help is needed as Calgary police search for a 13-year-old youth missing from the northwest community of Parkdale for over two weeks.

Alex, reported missing from his current caregivers on Jan. 11, was last seen on Jan. 22 in the Forest Lawn area.

Officers believe he may be staying with people known to him. There’s nothing to indicate foul play.

However, police need the public’s help after being unable to find him.

Investigators describe Alex as being 5’5″ tall, weighing around 120 pounds, with a slim build, brown eyes, and brown hair.

Anyone with information about Alex’s whereabouts is asked to call Calgary police at 403-266-1234 or leave a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The Calgary Police Service no longer shares the last names of people reported missing or shares details on the status of individuals upon being found.

The service said this change was brought forward by its missing persons team after feedback from families and those who have been found safe.
