Galveston Police are trying to identify the body of a small boy found along the shoreline last week.

KWTX reports that Galveston police say the body was discovered Friday evening after it washed up along the shoreline. The boy is thought to be between 3 and 5 years old.

There are no reports of missing kids in this area that match the child's description making it difficult for authorities to figure out exactly who this is.

Police are asking anyone who may have information to reach out to Galveston police at 409-765-3776.
