An 11-year-old reported missing by the Ravenswood Houses in Long Island City last Thursday has been found.

Dallas Pinckney was found at around 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 20, the same day he was reported missing, according to the NYPD.

Pinckney was found in good condition within the confines of the 108th precinct, close to the area he was last seen within the 114th precinct. It is unclear how he was located, according to a DCPI spokesperson.

Pinckney was afraid to go home because of a disagreement with his guardians, police say.

The 11-year-old was reported missing at approximately 12:19 p.m. on July 20 and last seen at the intersection of 34th Avenue and 24th Street by the Ravenswood Houses at the time.

Four years ago, Hurricane Ida tore through our neighborhoods of East Elmhurst, Corona and Jackson Heights, leaving behind devastation we will never forget. We lost neighbors to the floodwaters. Families saw their homes destroyed, their basements wiped out, their lives upended. Immigrant families—so many of them undocumented—were hit the hardest, often excluded from relief altogether. Ida was not just a storm; it was a wake-up call.
