Family members and friends spent most of the weekend passing out flyers with Kakarla's photo, hoping someone may have spotted him.
Kakarla would attend swimming practice at the park, and it's where his father plays pickleball. He usually rides home with his father but they had agreed that he could bike home Friday night.
His father, Ram Kakarla, said it's not like his son to just disappear.

āThis is not the kind of kid who runs away," his father said. "Must be something happened."
