A Michigan teen was found dead Friday, weeks after he went missing after a police encounter in Rockford.
Cortez McConer Jr.,16, was last seen alive with two friends on November 2 outside a McDonald’s where the three teens tried to flee from officers for unknown reasons.
The two friends were later located and a search involving Grand Rapids Police, Kent County deputies, and Michigan State Police started for McConer.
