Search continues of 28-year-old man battling cancer missing in Houston

HOUSTON – Friends and family continue to search for 28-year-old Andrew Hernandez. He was last seen on Sept. 10 after leaving his home to go for a walk in southwest Houston.

The family said the past few days have been very tough. They said Hernandez would always go for walks and it’s not right that he would disappear.

“I just wanted to say Andrew is your out there," said his mother Renita Boyd. "We are searching. We are not going to stop.”

Boyd is not giving up on finding her son Hernandez, who is described as 5 feet 10 inches and weighs 118 pounds. He was also diagnosed with Leukemia two years ago and is still undergoing treatment.

“Andrew is very weak. He does not have a lot of energy since he’s been on chemotherapy. His strength is very weak so he wouldn’t be able to fight much possibly or run long distance,” Boyd said.
