Gilroy Police Turn To Public For Any Info On 2 Missing Boys

Gilroy police are asking for the public’s help in locating two boys who appear to have run away Monday afternoon.

Inoa Ulukou, 15, reportedly left a children’s home in the 200 block of Ioof Avenue around 4:50 p.m., Gilroy police Sgt. Pedro Espinoza said.

Police do not believe Inoa was a victim of a crime and may be with a 14-year-old boy who also ran away from the home, Espinoza said.

Police have only released Inoa’s name because his medical condition, which Espinoza could not disclose, puts him at risk. Inoa is overdue for medication required for his health, according to Espinoza.

Both boys are friends and police believe they are on foot, the sergeant said.

Inoa is described as a Hawaiian boy standing about 5 feet 10 inches tall and around 200 pounds, police said. His family is originally from San Jose, Espinoza said.

The 14 year old is described as a Hispanic boy standing at about 5 feet 4 inches tall and around 135 pounds, according to police.

Both boys have black hair and brown eyes. They were last seen wearing black sweatshirts, black pants and black shoes, Espinoza said.

Anyone with information on their whereabouts is asked to call Gilroy police Officer Michael Beebe at (408) 846-0350.

Anonymous tip can be left through the WeTip hotline at (800) 782-7463.
