Details of Disappearance

Buford was last seen in the 3100 block of North Julia Street in Milwaukee . His friends stated he broke his phone, was in a weird state of mind, and was seen walking towards the water. In searching, check nearby Rose Park & Lake Park.

A father's plea: My name is Mensah Bonman. My son Javeoni Buford has been missing for over a year. I am in need of help from my community. My son Javeoni has been missing since November 16th 2021. I have done everything a Father is suppose to do looking for my son. I filed a missing persons report at the 5th district Milwaukee Police Department, I asked them to do welfare checks, and I got nowhere with that.
MPD just reached out to me last month to ask if I heard from my child ITS BEEN A WHOLE YEAR!!! Tell me when does a 24 year old Black young man from 4th and Julia who stayed with his Mom just vanishes without a trace. My son and I had a good relationship. Javeoni wasn't the type of person who would leave and not tell me or someone where he was going.
Javeoni was a hard working young man that like to dress nice, and he would help anyone he could. Javeoni wasn't a troublemaker. He didn't get into trouble nor was violence his thing. He also didn't have any enemies he stayed to himself. I am reaching out to the community for help. His friends have organized a serach team that helped put flyers up in the community, but no media coverage. I miss my son…
It’s been over a year since anyone have heard from him. I'm crying asking begging my people my community to help me find my son.
