FDLE agents and Miami-Dade detectives reported Tru was last seen with his father Wilson Augustin, 32, who is a convicted felon with a pending criminal case.

Court records show Miami-Dade corrections released him on March 30 after his bond was set at $22,500, and a judge ordered him to stay away from the victim.
Augustin was last released from prison on April 29, 2019, after he served time on a 2016 weapons charge, according to the Florida Department of Corrections.
Detectives were asking anyone with information about Tru’s whereabouts to call the FDLE at 1-888-356-4774 and Miami-Dade Police at 305-476-5436.
