Cops Locate Missing Child in City Heights

San Diego police officers searched through the night for a 9-year-old boy reported missing in City Heights.

As of 7 a.m., the child had been located uninjured. Family members told news crews he was inside an apartment a few doors down from his home near the 4000 block of 38th Street.

The child left his home around 9 p.m. Wednesday upset with his mother over some disciplinary action. An older brother chased after him but couldnโ€™t catch up.

โ€œI just donโ€™t know where to look for him at. Iโ€™ve looked everywhere. Canโ€™t find my baby,โ€ mother Naimah Holmes said.

Officers said the 9-year-old is somewhat street savvy and has a lot of friends in the area but they were concerned for his safety.
