The NYPD is seeking the public’s assistance in locating Jamaal Jackson, 21, of 200 West 167 Street, in the Highbridge section of The Bronx, who was reported missing in the 44th precinct.
Jackson was last seen Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021 at approximately 7.30 p.m. at his home. He is described as male, approximately 5 feet, 10 inches tall, Black, weighs approximately 155 pounds, and has brown eyes. He was last seeing wearing a gray sweat shirt, gray sweat pants, a black and gray jacket, and white and blue sneakers.
A resident contacted the Norwood News and wrote, “Jamaal is a young man with needs, and has limited verbal skills.” Norwood News double-checked the accuracy of this statement with the NYPD, as the agency is in contact with those who reported Jackson missing. We were informed that Jackson has autism.
Norwood News checked twice with police if there were any updates on Jackson on Monday, March 1, and were informed there were none.
Anyone with information with regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
