OAKLAND — Oakland police and Crime Stoppers announced a $10,000 reward Mondayfor information leading to the whereabouts of Hassani Campbell, a 5-year-old boy with cerebral palsy who disappeared a week ago.Hassani, who lived in Fremont with his foster parents, Louis Ross and Jennifer Campbell, was reported missing from the parking lot of the Shuz of Rockridge shoe store in the 6000 block of College Avenue in Oakland about 4:15 p.m. on Aug. 10.
Oakland police spokesman Jeff Thomason said, "We definitely need the public's help" in finding Hassani.
Thomason said police have only received about 50 tips, which he said is unusually low for a week-old missing child case.
He said police are following all the leads but haven't turned up anything so far.
Thomason said police are still treating Hassani's disappearance as a missing persons case but as time goes on the chances of finding him alive may be dwindling.
He said on Saturday law enforcement officials and volunteers searched marshland and shoreline areas at the tip of West Winton Avenue in Hayward as well as Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont but didn't find anything significant.
Police describe Hassani as being a black boy with medium complexion, brown hair and brown eyes. He is about 3 feet tall and weighs around 30 pounds. He was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt and grant pants. He also has leg braces.
