It’s been a year since 18-year-old Jayshawn Fountain went missing.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children says he disappeared on February 24, 2023, never returning home from Propel Braddock Hills High School.

Fountain’s duffle bag was found in Wilkinsburg a short time later.

Fountain would normally get on a PRT bus after school in that year.

Jayshawn is 5-foot-8 and weighs 170 lbs. when he was last seen.

He has black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Allegheny County Police at 412-473-3000.

“We miss you and love you so much Jayshawn,” the family sent out via NCMEC. “Your whole family needs you back home where you belong.”
