Fort Worth police said in a news release that the body belongs to a young black male, but investigators "are working with the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's office to determine the cause of death and if the deceased is Sida Osman."
Police said the investigation is still active and no other details can be released right now.
Update at 2:45 p.m.:
Police have reportedly found a body not far from the apartments where a 5-year-old Somali boy went missing.
Investigators cordoned off a vacant home at Lois Street and Anglin Drive, around the corner from the boy's home, but they have yet to confirm that they've found Sida Odman.
Sida's uncle, however, told Lindsay Wilcox of NBC 5 that the family fears the worst: "We were expecting him to come home smiling & happy."
Helicopters, K-9 units and officers have been searching for Sida, since late Tuesday, when he ran away from his mother.
Shortly after 1 p.m., officers sectioned off a residence near Lois Street and Anglin Drive in Fort Worth, just a few blocks away from his home on Freshfield Road.
Original entry at 7:48 p.m.:
Police in Fort Worth are asking for help in the search for a Somali boy who went missing Tuesday night.
Five-year-old Sida Osman was last seen about 6 p.m. playing at his apartment complex near Village Creek Road and East Berry Street.
Police began the search after the family called 911 shortly before 10:30 p.m. At one point a helicopter was used to look for the boy.
Sida, who does not speak English, was reportedly wearing a short-sleeve blue shirt with white stripes down both sleeves, baby-blue shorts and boots.
Anyone who sees the boy should call police at 817-335-4222 or 911.
