Authorities are seeking the public’s help in locating a 15-year-old boy who went missing after he was last seen at a gas station in Canandaigua. The juvenile, identified as Randell A. Parris Jr., was spotted near the courthouse on Oct. 24 between 4:20 p.m. and 5 p.m.

Parris is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing approximately 150 pounds. Although what clothing he was last seen wearing is unknown, police say he may be wearing a gray mountain bike and a black and red backpack.

Investigators believe he may still be in the Canandaigua area, where he has many friends, or perhaps in Rochester, where he has family. Law enforcement encourages anyone with information on the whereabouts of Parris to contact the Canandaigua Police Department.
