4-year-old Cecil Aguilar-Cano, who also goes by Ceasar, plays in a miniature jeep.

Cecil Aguilar-Cano was last seen at 3:15 p.m. on Friday afternoon in front of his house on Oakdale Ave. Not far from Churchill Downs.

The boy’s mother said she wasn’t watching her son at the time and that she thought he was just playing in the neighborhood.  Police have posted flyers in both English and Spanish in the area asking for help in locating the boy.

Cecil is 3-feet tall and weighs 40 pounds. He has short dark hair and was last seen wearing a yellow tank top with gray shorts.  Anyone with information is asked to call the Louisville Metro Police at 574-LMPD.
