Okunola's older brother said he lives with his mother and sister, and was last seen dropping his mother off at work.

On Monday, his mother told ABC7 Chicago he was found on Friday by police and is back home.

No other information was provided.

DoorDash had released a statement saying, "We are devastated to hear about this tragic situation and have reached out to the Okunol family to offer our support during this difficult time. The safety of our community is extremely important to us, and we've been working closely with local law enforcement to assist them as they investigate in any way that we can."

An event Saturday on Chicago's West Side was aimed to help families find missing loved ones.

It was hosted by the Cook County medical examiner at their office, located at 2121 W. Harrison St.

Families searching for loved ones could file missing persons reports, submit DNA samples and enter information into a national database.

"This is a day that we have all the vital resources that are available to help families," Cook County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Ponni Arunkumar said. "It can be very daunting for families who are going through a lot of pain to take all the steps that are needed."

The medical examiner's office said at least two families identified missing loved ones at the event.
