"He's from out of state, so he was in town visiting and at some point kind of got separated from the person he was with, and after that, you know, we're still trying to determine what actually happened," Diaz said.
Detectives are searching the area where Phillips was last seen, looking for surveillance video and following tips that could help determine his whereabouts, Diaz told the station.
Members of Phillips' family have since traveled to Cleveland and are assisting with efforts to find him, Colon told Fox News Digital.

The organization is helping provide fliers the family can use to canvas the area and will serve as a conduit with law enforcement while determining what other assistance the family needs.
Anyone with information about Phillips' whereabouts is asked to contact Cleveland police.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
