Amber Alert Ryan Akagbusi: 8-year-old nonverbal boy last seen in Fort Bend County

FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas - A local Amber Alert has been issued for 8-year-old Ryan Akagbusi who has been reported missing from Fort Bend County and law enforcement is asking for the public's help locating him.

Akagbusi was last seen in the 19900 block of Kendall Lake Drive in Richmond on Saturday at 4:30 a.m. The 8-year-old is non-verbal autistic but will respond to his name, his mother says.

"Please call Ryan, he’s non-verbal, he won’t answer, but he will turn around if he hears ‘Ryan’," she told FOX 26.

It's a mother's frantic call to the community, hoping to find her 8-year-old son alive. "Please bring him home, Ryan is my first baby," his mother pleaded. "Please call the police, call us."

Akagbusi's mother told FOX 26 she last saw her son around 4 a.m. when he was using the restroom and cleaned him up. As soon as she realized he wasn't in his room, she ran outside.

"I came out and I saw his shoes. I found his shoes down the road. Then we looked further, and I saw him in a neighbor’s camera running. That’s the last I saw," she says.

Texas EquuSearch, authorities, and the community were searching all around the neighborhood in Fort Bend County. Assistant Chief told FOX 26 they’re looking into anomalies found in the water. 

Akagbusi's mother says if anyone has him, please give him food and he loves chicken nuggets and fries.

"Please give him food, please help me bring him home, please," she cried.
