The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, along with the El Paso Police Department, is seeking the public's help in identifying a 2-year-old who was found in Juárez.

Police are looking for any information that would provide the boy's full name and identity. He was found in Juárez on Feb. 22 wearing blue sweatpants, black shoes and a shirt, according to a new release from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

He is described as Hispanic, 3 feet tall, weighing 40 pounds, with short brown hair, brown eyes and a birthmark above the left eyebrow.

Police think his first name might be Luis and that he is an American citizen because he understands and speaks English, the bulletin states.

The child's information will be posted to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's Facebook page, HelpIDMe.

Anybody with information about the child is asked to call the El Paso Police Department at 832-4400 or Crime Stoppers of El Paso at 566-8477.
