Jackson police seek 17-year-old runaway with medical condition
JACKSON — The Jackson Police Department is asking the public for help locating 17-year-old James Travis McGraw, who has a medical condition that may impair his judgment, police said. Authorities did not release additional details about when or where McGraw was last seen.
Police provided two contact numbers for anyone with information: 769-209-7439 or 601-960-1234. Officials did not offer further information about McGraw’s condition or the circumstances of his disappearance.
The Jackson Police Department is the municipal law enforcement agency for Mississippi’s capital and routinely investigates reports of missing and runaway juveniles. Young people with medical or cognitive conditions can be particularly vulnerable when they leave home, and law enforcement and family members often stress the importance of quick public tips in locating them.
Authorities often coordinate with hospitals, shelters and social service agencies when searching for missing youths, and they rely on community leads to narrow search areas. Anyone with information about McGraw’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Jackson Police Department at the numbers above. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
