Keshaun Williams has been missing for nearly 2 years
CLEVELAND (WJW) — A Cleveland teenager is still missing, and nearly two years later, investigators are making another push to bring him home. Keshaun Williams was just 15 years old when he disappeared in June of 2023. Today, he'd be 17. VIDEO: Cleveland firefighters rescue workers from side of building after scaffolding collapses Federal authorities and Cleveland police are once again urging the public to keep his case top of mind, and they're hoping a boosted reward and community attention can lead to new answers. Vinny Piccoli, a U.S. deputy marshal and one of the lead investigators on the case, said this one hits hard. 'That's probably the single most frustrating part of this,' Piccoli said. 'There are people that absolutely know what happened.' Williams was last seen attending a house party on Cleveland's west side. Since then, there have been no verified sightings and no major breakthroughs. Still, Piccoli said the search is very much active. 'We work this case like it happened yesterday,' he said. 'Every tip matters.' As the two-year mark approaches, the U.S. Marshals and Cleveland Division of Police have increased the reward for information to $27,500 — one of the largest rewards ever offered in this region for a missing child. Piccoli said there have been a few recent credible tips — a rarity in this case. Authorities are urging anyone with even the smallest piece of information to come forward. Cleveland police Sgt. Freddy Diaz emphasized that detectives are following up on every single lead. 'We are 100% looking at them,' Diaz said. 'Our detectives take every lead seriously and follow up on them.' Look to see all the Goodyear blimps together over NE Ohio today For the U.S. Marshals, the goal is simple: keep Keshaun's name in the public eye, and keep pressure on the people who may know something. 'Main thing for us is to keep his story out there,' Piccoli said. 'We are in touch with the family every step of the way. They just want answers.' And that message, investigators said, is what this case is all about — a family still waiting for answers, a community that can still help and a team that refuses to give up. 'It's very frustrating on all sides,' Piccoli added. 'For us, Cleveland police — and especially the family. All they want is answers. We want the same thing.' If you have any information about the disappearance of Keshaun Williams, contact Cleveland police at 216-623-5400 or the U.S. Marshals tip line at 1-866-4-WANTED (1-866-492-6833). That $27,500 reward remains available. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Piccoli drops transfer hint and must ‘earn' Italy call-up
Cagliari striker Roberto Piccoli insists he doesn't want to be a backup striker and admits he must continue improving to 'earn' an Italy national team call-up. The 24-year-old has scored ten goals in 36 Serie A games this season and his Cagliari side end the season tonight in an away game at Napoli. Advertisement 'Coach Nicola has given me a lot of confidence. I've learned how to lead the line on my own and how to attack the space better,' Piccoli told Gazzetta. 'I've always given everything, working hard for the team as well. However, I'll be honest, scoring goals is everything.' Cagliari have an option to sign Piccoli on a permanent transfer from Atalanta for €12m, but there are rumours that other big clubs, including Milan, are watching the Italian striker. Piccoli, however, wants to get regular playing time and would not accept being a backup striker.

I am happy to stay in Cagliari. Our life as footballers is like a race in which everyone starts out equal.' Piccoli is waiting for his first Italy call-up, but competition for a spot up front is stiff as Mateo Retegui and Moise Kean are the best scorers in Serie A this season. 'Kean drives me crazy, in a good way,' Piccoli said. 'He's got the physicality, he's strong in the box, he attacks the space, and he's complete. I hope I can do even better. There are many great Italian strikers. It's healthy competition. 'I give my all every single day and play every match as if it were my last, trying to make an impact. You have to earn a spot on the national team.' Piccoli has also played in Serie A for Atalanta, Spezia, Verona, Empoli, Genoa and Lecce and has scored 23 goals in 133 appearances in Italy's top flight.

European club football: Inter sink Cagliari to tighten grip at top
Inter Milan cruised to a 3-1 win at home to Cagliari thanks to goals from Marko Arnautovic, Lautaro Martínez and Yann Aurel Bisseck to keep their grip on top spot in Serie A on Saturday. Inter are six points clear of second-placed Napoli, who host lowly Empoli on Monday, with six rounds to go. Arnautovic put the hosts ahead after 13 minutes by blasting the ball home from close range. Roberto Piccoli had the chance to pull Cagliari level when he found himself one-on-one with Inter keeper Yann Sommer. However, the Swiss goalkeeper reacted swiftly, parrying the effort away. Seconds later, Martínez doubled Inter's lead in the 26th minute, timing a perfectly weighted pass to break through the Cagliari defence before delicately chipping keeper Elia Caprile, who seemed to hesitate too long before rushing out. Martínez could have made it a third goal before the break but his acrobatic bicycle attempt went just wide of the post. Cagliari pulled one back three minutes into the second half when Piccoli was left unmarked and sent a header into the ground that bounced into the top left corner. The visitors' momentum was punctured in the 55th minute, however, when Inter's Bisseck rose highest at a corner to head their third and effectively seal the match. Piccoli came agonisingly close to cutting the deficit for the visitors late in the match, his close-range shot heading goalwards, only for Inter defender Stefan de Vrij to stretch and deftly nod the ball over the bar. First-half goals by Teun Koopmeiners and Kenan Yildiz helped Juventus to a 2-1 win at home against relegation-threatened Lecce as new coach Igor Tudor remains unbeaten on Juve's bench. Koopmeiners gave Juventus the lead after two minutes, scoring with a low strike inside the far post, and Yildiz doubled the advantage after the half-hour mark as he capitalised on a brilliant team play. Lecce pulled a goal back in the 87th minute through Federico Baschirotto, who scored with a powerful header following a free-kick. Juventus moved provisionally up to third on 59 points from 32 games. They are one point above fourth-placed Atalanta, who host Bologna, in fifth and with 57 points, on Sunday. Lecce are two points above the relegation zone. This story will be updated
