UPDATE: Missing Child Found Safe
The child that had been the subject of a missing person’s search has been found safe and is home.
Due to confusion by the guardian, Unique Samuels was reported missing late last night. Richmond Police launched a massive effort to find Samuels, including door-to-door requests for information, grid searches, the operation of the Metro Richmond Air Unit, social media posts and the printing, distribution and posting of a missing person flier. Early this afternoon, Samuels returned home safely and was met by RPD officers at his residence.
The department thanks the public and the media partners for sharing the missing person information and social media posts regarding the search.
