The Tacoma Police Department successfully found a missing 7-year-old boy after asking the public for help earlier Wednesday.

The 7-year-old boy was last seen Tuesday night at approximately 8 p.m. in downtown Tacoma. He is on the autism spectrum, which made his disappearance an urgent priority for the Tacoma Police Department.
