Search On for Missing Lutz Boy

Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies are hoping for some help locating a missing boy from Lutz they believe might be in danger.

Elijah Aleem Hosein, 16, left his Wingrove Lane home around 11 p.m. Wednesday in a 2002 Honda Accord, according to Debbie Carter, sheriff’s office spokeswoman. The beige-colored car has a tag number of BFB0318.

Deputies are concerned for the teen’s safety because his parents found a note left behind by the boy that indicated he may harm himself, Carter said in an email to media.

“This is the first time that Elijah has left home,” she added. “He is known to frequent Curtis Hixon Park and the Channelside area.”

Anyone with information about the teen’s whereabouts is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 813-247-8200.
