Kirkland, who is autistic and non-verbal, is missing. His brother, also autistic and non-verbal, was found near South Lake Sybelia Drive but couldn’t give information about Kirkland’s whereabouts.

Police noted that he has a light scar. When he went missing, he was wearing a black shirt with green writing and gray shorts.
