Jahshawne Alfred<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Janelle McDowell, a mother from the community of Fond Saint Jean, is desperately searching for her missing 13-year-old son, Jahshawne Alfred. The teenager has been missing for nearly a week, leaving his mother deeply concerned and anxious for his well-being.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Dominica News Online (DNO), the distressed parent shared that her son was last seen on Wednesday, January 24, 2024. After leaving school, he went to his grandmother’s home in Pottersville, dropped off his school bag, and mentioned that he was going to grab something to eat. Unfortunately, he has not returned since that moment.<\/p>\n

McDowell also disclosed that teachers at the Dominica Grammar School (DGS), where her son is a student, have also reported his absence from school. While acknowledging that this isn’t Jahshawne’s first time going missing, McDowell expresses heightened fears for his safety on this occasion and is appealing to the public for assistance, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.<\/p>\n

Since this time, she has taken immediate action by reporting her son’s disappearance to the police. McDowell notes that law enforcement is actively engaged in the ongoing investigation, working to piece together the details surrounding Jahshawne’s whereabouts.<\/p>\n

Addressing anyone who may be harboring the teenager, the worried parent emphasized the seriousness of this offense, imploring them to allow Jahshawne to return home immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Janelle McDowell, a mother from the community of Fond Saint Jean, is desperately searching for her missing 13-year-old son, Jahshawne Alfred.
