 said a 10-year-old East Cobb boy who went missing on Halloween night has been found safe this morning. 

Gyasi Francis disappeared around 6 p.m. Monday in the 800 block of Powers Ferry Road.

Cobb Police spokesman Officer Mike Bowman said the child was found by Precinct 4 patrol officers walking along Powers Ferry Road in good condition and he has been reunited with his family. 

There were no signs of foul play in the incident, Bowman said. 

A sighting of Gyasi was reported about 9:30 p.m. near the intersection of Powers Ferry and Delk roads, Bowman said. The child reportedly carried a bag, possibly for trick-or-treating.

The AJC reports the boy went out despite being grounded for not doing his homework and quoted his stepfather saying that Gyasi likely stayed overnight with a friend.
