Deandre George was last seen on the night of October 20th around 10:45 PM in the area of Washington High School (3rd and Sycamore). After that sighting, another report claimed that Deandre was “hiding out” with a woman at the Whitter Townhome complex.
Whether her son is on the streets or outside of Sioux Falls, Ashley Amos just wants her son back alive and well.
I just got off the phone with the SFPD and was told he is on the statewide missing persons list. If my son has been staying at your house or if he has been staying with someone you know, please call the police. I want my son back home from what I gathered and told the police he is still in the Sioux Falls area. Please call the police or call/text me @ 605-215-4951 even if you see him walking down the street or see him in a store. I need my son at home.
Deandre is about 5’2 and weighs 170 pounds. More information about Deandre can be found here on the South Dakota Missing Persons website.
Any resident with leads or information on Daniel’s whereabouts is strongly encouraged to contact the Sioux Falls Police Department at 605-367-7000.
Losing a child is scary and I can only imagine what Ashley is going through. Let’s help find Deandre and bring him home!
