He was last seen about 1 p.m. Sunday. McLaurin, a Goldsboro High School student, was reported missing by his mother on Monday. According to an earlier Goldsboro police report, someone at Eastern Wayne High School had been bragging that, after a fight with McLaurin, he and another person abducted him.

McLaurin is described as 5-foot, 9-inches tall, 135 pounds with black hair and brown eyes, and a tattoo on his left hand of the letter "K."
