Police officers were called to the area of Clarendon Avenue and Palmetto Street on Thursday morning after 9-year-old Charles Anthony Roebuck Jr. went missing.

Roebuck’s grandmother told officers she last saw him Wednesday at about noon, when he left to go to a neighborhood store.

Roebuck is described as a black male, 4 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 50 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue shirt, blue jean shorts, and Nike shoes. He was seen leaving on a BMX style bicycle with duct tape on it.

I'm working two blocks from there right now and this is the first I've heard of this missing boy. I watched the local news this morning and no mention! The Ohio State Fair tragedy has overshadowed all other news locally. I'll keep my eye out for this little one!
 
I find it odd that he went missing around noon Wednesday while riding his bike to the store but and wasn't reported missing until Thursday morning.

Exactly what I was thinking. Also, I wouldn't ride a bike alone in this neighborhood, let alone send a 9 year old out alone.

Fishy indeed! I wonder if the store he was headed to has cameras? He looks so much younger than 9!
 
The nearest store to this intersection is called the Belvidere Mini Mart. I can't seem to be able to post the google earth street view, but it is located at 126 Belvidere ave, Columbus, OH if anyone wants to look at it. I highly doubt there were outside cameras. Possibly one inside.
