ROSEVILLE, Minnesota — The close-knit community of Roseville is breathing a massive, collective sigh of absolute relief today after 6-year-old Kamryn Simmons, who vanished mysteriously on Tuesday morning, was safely located. The terrifying ordeal sparked an immediate, multi-agency emergency response and an extensive ground search effort that rapidly drew widespread, anxious attention across the entire Twin Cities region.
The frantic situation began early on May 26, 2026, when young Kamryn was reported missing after he was last seen leaving his home on the 900 block of Sherren Street on foot at approximately 7:30 a.m. Carrying a blue backpack and wearing a white shirt with tan shorts, the young boy’s sudden disappearance put local law enforcement on high alert. Recognizing the extreme vulnerability of a child his age, the Roseville Police Department immediately deployed a massive search network. Officers meticulously searched the family home and yard multiple times, went door-to-door on foot, and deployed specialized search-and-rescue K9 units alongside aerial drones to scan nearby wooded zones and neighborhood parks.
As news of the missing child spread like wildfire across social media, hundreds of local volunteers, firefighters, and concerned neighbors rallied together, braving shifting weather conditions to join the active search grid. Thankfully, the high-stakes operation reached the exact resolution everyone had intensely prayed for.
Shortly after 2:00 p.m., authorities joyfully confirmed that Kamryn had been located alive, well, and completely unharmed in a wooded area situated close to his residence. He was immediately reunited with his incredibly grateful family. Roseville police officials expressed immense gratitude to the public safety personnel, partner agencies, and vigilant volunteers whose rapid deployment and unified community spirit turned a potentially devastating crisis into an overwhelming victory for the neighborhood.
