Miccosukee police are asking the public for help finding a teenager who went missing more than a week ago.

Maekon, who has braces and short curly hair, was last seen wearing a black T-shirt and basketball shorts.

A student at Gulliver Prep in Pinecrest, Maekon was last seen while on his first tribal court-ordered visitation with his mother, according to a family member’s post on Facebook.

Anyone with information about Maekon’s whereabouts should call police at 305-223-1600.
