A child was reported missing late Wednesday in Clarksville, Tennessee. Officials believe the boy’s non-custodial father took him to Tacoma, and authorities are asking the public to help locate them.

Treyvier Cureaux, 12, was reported missing at about 11 p.m. Wednesday by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, according to a tweet from the bureau. Officials said Cureaux is believed to be with 34-year-old Larant Cureaux, who has been charged with kidnapping.

Cureaux is described as 5-foot-1 and 120 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. His father, Larant, is described as 5-foot-11 and 230 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

Officials asked people who spot the two or have information about where they are to call 1-800-TBI-FIND or 931-645-8477.
