Missing East Cleveland Teen Found

The mayor of East Cleveland said a 15-year-old boy who had been missing for more than a week has been found.

Mayor Eric Brewer said Devante Avery is currently at the Jane Edna Hunter Center being checked out. Brewer said he doesn't have many details yet but that the boy appears to be OK.

Avery hadn't been seen since Aug. 29 when he left his grandmother's East Cleveland home on his bike.

Earlier on Tuesday, the teen's grandmother, father and Brewer reached out to the community to help find the boy.

Devante left the East 143rd Street home because he was upset about a disagreement at home.

He took off on his bike with his Labrador retriever. The dog returned home the same day, but Devante did not.
