A Rochester Institute of Technology student who had been reported missing for over three weeks has been located safe and is back with his family, the Monroe County, New York, sheriff’s office said Wednesday.

Grant's family previously said he was last seen on the night of Nov. 20 near Syracuse.

The Rochester Institute of Technology shared the news on social media that its student had been found and was reunited with his family.
