New York police are in search of a missing 6-year-old boy who was kidnapped in Brooklyn.

The boy, Devin Monroe, is nonverbal autistic, according to CBS2, and was last seen early Saturday morning with a friend of his mother’s, 39-year-old Emmanuel Kolajo.

Devin’s mother tried to pick up her son around midnight on Saturday night, but Kolajo told her that her son was asleep. She agreed to come pick up the boy the next day, but Kolajo has not returned any of her calls since that moment.

Devin was last seen wearing a burgundy hooded sweatshirt, a gray vest, blue pants and blue sneakers. He has black hair and a medium complexion. Kolajo is described as a 5’8″ tall Black man, 170 pounds, last seen wearing a black wig, a black jacket, blue jeans and black sneakers.

Devin and Kolajo were last seen in a 2002 Hyundai Elantra belonging to Devin’s mother.
