Runaway Juvenile Reported from Gentilly and St. Bernard Avenue

NOPD needs the public’s assistance in locating Steven Manuel (DOB: 9/5/2000) who fled from officials transporting him to Texas.

 

On August 11, 2017, Manuel was picked up from the Juvenile Detention Center by a Child Protective Specialist Agent with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. Manuel was being transported to Houston as a ward of the State of Texas. At approximately 9 a.m., the vehicle he was traveling in reached the intersection of Gentilly Boulevard and St. Bernard Avenue and Manuel exited the vehicle and fled eastbound on Gentilly. He has not been seen or heard from since.

 

Manuel was last seen wearing a black T-shirt, white basketball shorts and black sneakers.

 

If you have information on Steven Manuel’s whereabouts please contact Third District detectives at 504-658-6030.
