University of North Florida police and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office are searching for a 20-year-old student who was last heard from early Sunday morning and is considered a danger to himself.
George Louissaint Jr. was last seen at The Flats at UNF apartments, Building 65, according to a special bulletin distributed by the school to students and faculty.
Louissaint made a phone call to his sister around 3 a.m. but hasn’t been heard from since. Believing Louissaint is a danger to himself, his family called police around 5 a.m. on Sunday.
He’s described as a black male who was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and khaki pants.
According to a press conference late Monday morning from the chief of UNF's Police Department, Louissaint Jr. may be on the run from police for some reason they're not aware of.
Chief Frank Mackesy did note that they're not looking to arrest Louissaint for any reason, but they do need to lay eyes on him to make sure he's OK and to relieve the stress on his worried family.
Detectives believe he may be trying to go out of state to see a girlfriend who lives in Alabama.
Chief Macksey did state that all search efforts haven't led to any results so far, including those from JSO's dive team, bloodhounds and helicopter.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is encouraged to contact UPD at (904) 620-2800 or JSO at (904) 630-0500.
