8:10 a.m. Update: Good news! Savion has been located and is safe. Thank you to everyone who assisted in this search.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is actively searching for 11-year-old Savion Simpson.

Savion was last seen leaving his home on Thursday night around 9:30 p.m. on West 45th Street near Moncrief Road. Due to his age, we are concerned about his safety.

Savion is 5’1” and 100 pounds. He has brown eyes and long black dreds. He was last seen wearing a navy blue shirt, tan pants, and light green and beige Jordan shoes.

If you see Savion or know where he is, call us at 904.630.0500. Please share this post so we can spread the word faster!
