Search for missing St. Cloud boy ends after body found in Mississippi River

A frantic search in St. Cloud for a missing 6-year-old boy ended Friday morning after a body was pulled from the Mississippi River a few blocks from where the boy was last seen.

The medical examiner will identify the body after an autopsy, but St. Cloud police ended the search and said they feel confident they’ve found Hamza Elmi.

“It’s a sad day,” said St. Cloud Police Cmdr. Jeff Oxton. “Our hearts go out to the family.”
