15-year-old Queens boy missing from home since last month, NYPD says

A Queens family is still looking for their teenage son after he went missing at the end of last month, according to authorities.

Police said Jafet Jemmott, 15, was last seen leaving his home on Burchell Avenue in Arverne around 6 a.m. on Nov. 28. He'd had an argument with his father about wanting money to go shopping, according to NYPD officials, and his parents told News 12 they believed he was going to the Kings Plaza Mall on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn that morning.

Jemmott was last seen wearing a black sweater, black pants and white sneakers, officials said. Police said he is about 5’6” and 140 pounds with brown eyes and black hair.

The NYPD is asking anyone with information on Jemmott’s whereabouts to call the Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or, for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). People can also submit their tips on the Crime Stoppers website.
