Georgia Police Ask for Public Help Locating Missing Fourteen Year Old Boy Last Seen in Covington on Friday Wearing Black Hoodie and Gray Sweatpants

COVINGTON, GA — Police in Georgia are asking for the public’s help in locating a 14-year-old boy who was reported missing from Covington on Friday. The search centers on Kuran Curtis, who was last seen in the city and has not been publicly located since then.

The Covington Police Department released details about what Curtis was wearing when he disappeared and urged anyone who may have seen him to come forward. Investigators have not publicly said where he was headed or how he was last seen, but they continue to seek leads from the community.

What police say Kuran Curtis was wearing

According to Covington police, Curtis was last seen wearing a black hoodie, gray sweatpants, and gray and silver Nike shoes with white stripes. Officers also noted that he has teal braces, a detail that could help people recognize him if they spot someone matching his description.

Police often use clothing descriptions and identifying features like braces to widen the chance that a missing person will be recognized quickly. In this case, the department is hoping anyone who saw Curtis around the time he went missing will remember those details and report them right away.

The description is now being shared as part of the effort to find him and determine where he may have gone after he was last seen.

Friday disappearance prompts search in Newton County

Curtis was reported missing Friday, and the case quickly became a matter for local police in Covington and Newton County. The city sits in the county and is part of the broader area where officers are asking residents to stay alert for any information that could help.

The public notice does not include an explanation for why Curtis went missing, and police have not released additional details about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. That leaves investigators relying heavily on tips from people who may have been in the area that day.

When a teenager disappears, even small details can matter, including a sighting on foot, near a business, or in a vehicle. Police are treating the public’s help as an important part of the search.

How the community can share information

Anyone with information about Curtis’s whereabouts is being asked to contact Newton County-Covington dispatch at 770-784-2100. That is the main number police provided for tips and possible sightings.

Officials did not include any alternate contact methods in the notice, and they did not say whether Curtis may have been traveling with anyone. For now, the request is straightforward: if you saw him or know where he might be, reach out to dispatch.

Tip lines like this can help investigators compare witness accounts, surveillance footage, and other details that may lead them to a missing person. Police are encouraging the public to call as soon as possible if they have relevant information.

Why identifying details matter in a missing teen case

Police descriptions are often brief, but every detail can help narrow the search. In Curtis’s case, the combination of a black hoodie, gray sweatpants, and distinctive gray and silver Nike shoes may stand out to someone who saw him Friday or shortly before he disappeared.

His teal braces are another identifying feature that may make him easier to recognize than clothing alone. Even if someone is unsure whether a sighting is relevant, investigators want them to call rather than assume it is unimportant.

Missing person cases involving minors can move quickly, which is why law enforcement often pushes out identifying information early. The hope is that someone in the community will connect the description to a real sighting and help officials find him.

Police continue looking for leads in the Covington area

At this stage, police have not shared any new public developments beyond the missing person alert and the request for assistance. There is no additional information about where Curtis may have gone after he was last seen, and no public update on whether officers have identified a specific direction of travel.

For now, the search depends on vigilance from residents, motorists, and anyone who may have encountered Curtis on Friday or in the days after. A missing teen alert like this often depends on a single useful tip breaking the case open.

Anyone with a possible lead is being urged to contact Newton County-Covington dispatch at 770-784-2100 and share what they know with investigators.
