Wichita authorities are looking for a 14-year-old boy who went missing Jan. 30.
Derilyn Johnson Jr. was last seen about 9 p.m. that day at his Wichita home in the 1900 block of North Grove, his father said, and may be headed to Forney, Texas, near Dallas.
Wichita police Sgt. Kevin Bradford said Friday that the boy broke up with his girlfriend by phone before he disappeared and told her he was moving to Texas, where his mother lives.

“It’s believed he’s with his mom or headed that direction,” Bradford said.
