Silver Alert Canceled for One of Missing Hartford Brothers

Hartford police have found one of two brothers reported missing from their home overnight Saturday, Sept. 19.

Silver Alerts were issued for Jose Caban, 14, and Lexus Alfinez, 12, of Hartford, on Sept. 19 after their mother reported to police she noticed Caban was missing at midnight when she got up to use to the bathroom. She told police she last saw him at 8 p.m. in his bed. The mother also discovered that her other son, Lexus Alfinez was also missing, but police have since found him and canceled his Silver Alert on Friday.

Caban has a history of running away, according to police.

Police described Jose Caban and Lexus Alfinez as Hispanic males with black hair. Caban is 5-foot-5, weighs 120 pounds and has blue eyes. He was wearing grey shorts when he went to bed.

Alfinez has brown eyes, is 5-foot-2 and weighs 90 pounds.

Police said that neither brother has a mental illness and that neither are on medications.

Hartford police ask anyone with information on Caban's whereabouts to contact Sgt. Sonia Watson at 860-757-4041 or Det. Ivys Arroyo at 860-757-4236 in the department's Special Investigations Division.
