Daytona Beach police are looking for 12-year-old Eleaser Johnson after he was reported missing Wednesday night.
DAYTONA BEACH, FL — Daytona Beach police are searching for a 12-year-old boy who has gone missing for the third time this year.
Eleaser Johnson was last seen around 10 p.m. Wednesday leaving his house on North Wild Olive Avenue wearing a gray sweatshirt, blue jeans and sneakers with a black, white and gray color scheme, according to police. Johnson is around 5 feet tall.
Johnson ran away from home twice in January. On the first occasion, he was found in the bed of a pickup truck in Jacksonville after a man had unknowingly driven him there. He ran away from home at the time because he didn't want to do his homework, the boy's mother told News 6 Orlando.
