A Montreal resident wants the public’s help searching for her missing teenage brother who might be in Toronto.
According to Montreal police, 15-year-old Sémy Habarurema was last seen Aug. 2, 2023, after leaving his home in the area of Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles.
Authorities say he was last heard from in February and based on the information given, he could be in Toronto.
On Wednesday, Sémy’s older sister took to Instagram asking for the public’s help to bring him home as his family is concerned about his health and safety.
“My little brother has been missing since August. The Montreal police has only been in position to make a missing person alert now. We fear for his safety. He could be in Montreal, Toronto or surroundings,” she captioned her post.
She describes her brother as Black, standing at five-foot-seven and weighing around 110 pounds, with short curly black hair and dark brown eyes.
“He typically wears skinny jeans or sweatpants, sweaters and sneakers. He wears glasses and if I am not mistaken transition lenses (darken in sunlight). He has pierced ears. He has light upper lip facial hair and a light scar on his right cheek,” she continued.
She shared a series of photos of him, and although dated, she says they are her favourite.
She also posted another series of images that are more recent and show his latest physique and style of clothing.
Montreal police also have an updated image of Sémy in its press release.
For now, the family and police are waiting patiently for leads and ask that the public “consider their privacy and avoid any speculations.”
“It is not humanly possible for me to thank every single one of you for sharing. But for now please accept this post as my deepest thanks and gratitude,” Sémy’s sister posted to her IG story.
Now Toronto reached out to the sister as well as Toronto and Montreal police and did not hear back in time for publication.
