KDPS Actively Searching for Missing, Endangered 17-Year-Old

Published on January 20, 2026

At approximately 1:15 a.m., Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety officers responded to the 600 block of Wheaton Avenue regarding a missing and endangered juvenile.

Jordean Mauriess Haroldson is a 17-year-old Black male, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing 135 pounds. He was last seen wearing a blue long-sleeved T-shirt and SpongeBob SquarePants pajama pants.

Jordean is autistic and has limited cognitive function. He may not recognize danger and may enter an unfamiliar person’s home or other accessible area to get warm. KDPS is asking area residents to check front porches, garages, sheds, and any other areas that may be accessible. Officers are actively canvassing the area.

Anyone with information on Jordean Haroldson’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Criminal Investigations Division at 269-337-8139. Information can also be provided anonymously through the Kalamazoo Silent Observer tip line at 269-343-2100, the P3Tips app, or online at www.kalamazoosilentobserver.com.
