A Cleveland family is living through every parent’s worst nightmare after two young brothers disappeared without a trace, leaving loved ones desperately searching for answers and asking the public for urgent help.

King Maclin, 11, and Dontae Shunn, 13, have been reported missing from Cleveland, Ohio, and authorities are now working to locate them safely. As concern continues to grow, family members and investigators are hoping that someone, somewhere, may have information that can help bring the boys home.

According to the Cleveland Division of Police, King and Dontae were last seen on Thursday, June 1, 2026, at approximately 4:00 PM. The brothers were reportedly leaving their home in the 1400 block of East 63rd Street when they disappeared.

Since that moment, uncertainty has taken over.

Every passing hour without answers has increased concerns for the boys’ safety. Family members have been anxiously waiting for any news, any sighting, or any piece of information that could help locate them.

King Maclin is described as 11 years old, approximately 4 feet tall and weighing around 90 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie and black joggers.

His older brother, Dontae Shunn, is 13 years old, approximately 5 feet tall and weighing around 100 pounds. He was last seen wearing a grey hoodie and black joggers.

Authorities are urging the public not to dismiss any information, no matter how small it may seem.

Missing child cases often depend on community awareness and public involvement. In many successful recoveries, the crucial breakthrough came from an ordinary person who noticed something unusual, recognized a face, or remembered seeing someone matching a description.

That is why investigators continue to emphasize the importance of sharing information.

Every social media post.

Every community discussion.

Every shared photograph.

Every tip.

Each one has the potential to help move the investigation forward.

The disappearance of a child is one of the most devastating experiences a family can endure. Parents are left with endless questions. Friends and relatives struggle with uncertainty. Communities unite in hope while fearing the worst.

For the loved ones of King and Dontae, every day without answers feels longer than the last.

Across the country, countless missing children have been safely located because communities refused to stop looking. Citizens remained alert. Neighbors paid attention. Strangers shared information online. Someone recognized a face and decided to make a phone call.

That is the power of awareness.

The Cleveland community now has an opportunity to play that same role.

Police continue to investigate all available leads while encouraging anyone with information to come forward immediately. Even details that may appear insignificant could prove important to investigators attempting to determine where the boys may have gone.

Law enforcement officials frequently remind the public that tips do not need to solve the entire case.

A single observation.

A brief encounter.

A remembered detail.

Any of these could become the missing piece investigators need.

As the search continues, many people have already begun sharing the boys’ information throughout Ohio and beyond. Social media has become one of the most powerful tools available in missing-person investigations, allowing information to spread across cities, states, and even the entire country within hours.

Supporters are hoping that increased visibility will lead to new information and ultimately bring King and Dontae home safely.

For now, their family continues to wait and hope.

Hope that someone saw them.

Hope that someone recognizes them.

Hope that the next phone call brings good news.

Hope that they will soon be reunited.

The story of King Maclin and Dontae Shunn serves as a powerful reminder that missing children are more than statistics. They are sons, brothers, friends, classmates, and young lives deeply loved by those around them.

Authorities are urging anyone who may have seen King or Dontae, or who may have information regarding their whereabouts, to contact the Cleveland Police Third District immediately at 216-623-5300 or the Non-Emergency Line at 216-621-1234.

Time matters.

Awareness matters.

Community involvement matters.

Most importantly, these two boys matter.

Please take a moment to share their story.

One share may reach the person who knows something.

One tip may provide the breakthrough investigators need.

And one act of kindness could help bring King and Dontae safely back to the people who love them most.

Until that happens, the search continues.
